e/Victorian dress reform

New Query

Information
has glosseng: During the middle and late Victorian period, various reformers proposed, designed, and wore clothing supposedly more rational and comfortable than the fashions of the time. This was known as the dress reform or rational dress movement. The movement had its greatest success in the reform of womens undergarments, which could be modified without exposing the wearer to social ridicule. Dress reformers were also influential in persuading women to adopt simplified garments for athletic activities such as bicycling or swimming. The dress reform movement was much less concerned with mens clothing. It did have some effects on men's undergarments, such as the widespread adoption of knitted wool union suits or long johns.
