Girl's Historical Clothing: Chronological Listings--the 1910s


Figure 1.--We have little information on Belgian children's literature at this time. We do note an image of Belgian children in the early 20th century reading illustrated children's books. Some of these early books for younger children were not bound pages, but rather thick pages that opened up in a chain fashion althought they folded together in book form. This portrait is undated. All we know is that it was taken in Anvers.

The 1910s were dominated by World War I. The early 1910s are similar to the 1900s, but the austerity of the War years is followed by major fashion changes. There are large numbers of images of girls outfits, almost all dressess, archieved on HBC, both in American and European sections of our site. White dresses were popular as were sailor outfits. Often girls wore their dresses with pinafores. Girls also commonly wore smocks. We are less sure to what extent girls wore tunics and rompers. Hair bows were especially popular--some remarkably large. The shirtwaist and skirt were still a popular style for young women in the years before the War. The fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory had a major impact on labor and saftey legislation in the United States.
