sew_through_time | dressing reform vs fashion 1908 @sewthroughtime | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 minutes ago.
In this video, I dress in two vastly different styles from the same year 1908, in reform artistic dress and mainstream fashion. Reform dress took its queues from fashion but interpreted it to a much looser softer silhouette that worked better for its ideals of unrestrictive clothing that freed the female form from its tight bindings. There were philosophic, political, and even health-based reasoning behind the style, and the reasons why an individual would choose to wear it or mainstream fashion varied but here are examples of the two styles to give you an understanding of how they differed from each other.
