USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Flappers were stylish, unconventional American women of the 1920’s who dressed in attire considered too revealing by previous generations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flappers was a popular name given to women of this time because of what they wore. The constrictive corset, an essential undergarment to make the waist thinner, became a thing of the past. The development of new fabrics and new means of fastening clothing affected fashions of the 1920s.

Detailed explanation-3: -Several period sources claim the word ‘flapper’ originated from the American fashion among teenage girls for wearing unbuckled galoshes – because their galoshes flapped about in a carefree manner as they walked.

Detailed explanation-4: -A typical flapper chose dresses that were of a straight style, sleeveless, and often low-cut as well as short-about knee-length, which was rather scandalous at the time. She wore stockings, often rolled to below the knee; had a bobbed, or chin-length, hairstyle; and used cosmetics on her face in a bold manner.
