What Women Wore to the Revolution: 1930s-1960s (Part II)
Throughout the 20th century, women’s lives changed dramatically—and so too did the clothing they wore. In part two of this series, we continue our exploration into the innovators and innovations responsible for the revolutionary changes sweeping through women’s dress during some of the most beloved and iconic eras in the history of Euro-American fashion: the 1930s to the 1960s. From Depression-era fashion fantasies to the "Make Do and Mend" of WW2, from Dior's "New Look" to the liberating micro-minis and blue jeans of the 1960s, we will meet the women--and the clothes--that continue to captivate our imaginations and shape the way we wear to this very day.

What Women Wore to the Revolution: 100+ Years of Transformative Fashion, Part I
What Women Wore to the Revolution is the first online course offering from Dressed podcast, taught by Dressed co-founder and host Cassidy Zachary. In this two-part, eight class series, Cassidy will take you on a journey through the evolution and revolution of Euro-American women’s fashion from the 1850s to 1960s—from crinolines to miniskirts—a period marked by seismic transformations both in the clothing women wore and the lives they led. This class will use clothing as a lens to learn more about the many remarkable innovators and innovations that quite literally changed the face and shape of fashion by pushing the boundaries of what came before. In addition, you will learn the foundational skills needed to properly date and identify fashions from the eras covered.
The live version of the class is over, but recordings are available for purchase at the link below.
