Just an Old-Fashioned Girl - Hemlines Go Down in 1930
EDITORS COMMENTS
As the roaring twenties drew to a close, fashion took a dramatic turn, leaving the modern flapper girl looking rather outdated. In this humorous cartoon from 1930, published in "Julian 19," we see a comparison between the flapper girl of the mid-twenties, with her cropped Eton skirts and smoking cigarette, and the new fashionable woman of the thirties, dressed in a long, floor-length skirt. The sudden change in hemline length was a shock to many, as women who had embraced the freedom and modernity of shorter skirts were now expected to cover up once more. The cartoonist captures the amusing contrast between the old and the new, with the caption "Just an Old-Fashioned Girl" suggesting a sense of nostalgia for the flapper era, even as it was being left behind. The cartoon also highlights the rapid pace of fashion change during this period, as well as the societal expectations placed on women's bodies and appearances. The long skirt, which had been the norm for decades before the flapper revolution, was now making a comeback, leaving many women feeling unfashionable if they clung to the shorter skirts of the previous era. Overall, this cartoon is a fascinating snapshot of the shifting fashion trends of the 1930s, as well as a reminder of the humor and satire that often accompanied these changes. Whether you find the long skirts of the thirties more fashionable or the short skirts of the twenties more appealing, this cartoon is sure to bring a smile to your face and leave you wondering what fashion trends the future might hold.
