1910s-<\/strong> With World War I shaping the decade, wedding dresses of the 1900s did not stray from the modest, conservative styles of the past. Brides wore simple long sleeves<\/a> that covered the shoulders, as well as decorative, high-necked collars. Frills, ruffles, and vintage lace<\/a> were popular, creating a delicate, feminine, and romantic look. Additionally, the empire waistline was new, tightening just below the bust and flaring out into a long flowing skirt.<\/p>\n

1920s-<\/strong> The Roaring \u201820s brought in some new, more risque styles. The women\u2019s movement of the time rebelled against the corseted look that dominated the previous decades. A loose, undefined drop-waist became the fashion as well as a lower neckline. Gowns shifted from being floor-length gowns to having hems just below the knee, and many were sleeveless. During such a prosperous economic boom after the war, many brides liked to show off their wealth with dresses made of lace and silk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1930s-<\/strong> The Great Depression era saw a return to romance and femininity for a wedding dress. Floor-length skirts and long trains were matched with a sleek silhouette to create a regal look of sophistication and elegance. Due to economic hardship, rayon was often used in lieu of silk because it was more affordable, but the desire to look luxurious lingered from the prosperous 1920s. Materials and styles remained limited and simple during the war effort of the 1940s.<\/p>\n
