In 1914 the fashionable silhouette changed from the long and eccentric styles of the Edwardian era to a more slim and sleeker style with slightly shorter skirts as war came along. Since fabric was needed for military uniforms and things like that along with metal that would be used in accessories the fashion was simpler. As well as the other things mentioned women started to work more than they did before because all the men went off to war so the impractical styles were pushed away. With most of Europe being war america and specifically New York was left to be the main fashion providers. The magazines would show what was in fashion for the season and give advice to the women who bought them.

Because of the war in Europe the flow of fashion from Paris stopped and made way for American fashions to influence how people dressed there. The awful hobble skirts were gone and a new loose and  independent style was in fashion. What was seen in 1915 was skirts that were loose at the bottom allowing for long strides unlike the hobble skirt. Hobble skirts were skirts that would be tighter around the ankles causing women to have to hobble hence the name. Why were hobble skirts even a thing if they were this inconvenient? As they say "anything for the look".

The great war was the main focus in the press, The German Zeppelin bombings of towns stopped by the end of the year after British and French airmen learned how to destroy the airships. On a better note the U.S. elected its first congress woman and women were given the right to vote in provincial elections in Canada. Fashion saw mild changes but mainly stayed the same as the previous years. War really hit hard for the citizens during this time and most people just wanted it to end as soon as possible. During this time tanks were introduced and for the people in the trenches were quite terrifying.

As the years go on the silhouette becomes smoother and flatter. Waists or what we would call blouses and skirt patterns were sold separately but were made of matching fabrics called a frock. The colors of these garments were often pale and subtle like a light pink or pale blue. Because of the war most women didn't buy as many clothes because the fabric was needed for military uniforms and such. by this point most women were working and would often adapt their factory uniforms for everyday wear.
