Dress Reform
Calling ALL women: MAKE EVERY DRESS COUNT!!!
crush these problems with us:
This original clothing has got to go. We want you to stop feeling like you're an inconvienance. it's not healthy and can burden and obstruct the free use of your lower limbs but also give you a bad circulation of blood, cause congestion of the brain and lungs, and disease of the head and heart.
Goals:
It is our duty to persuade you the dress reform dress is more convienant mostly in the kitchen, passing up and down the stairs, it's lengh, and best of all it's hands free. It covers your limbs properly and doesn't block circulation of blood.
HELP US CHANGE FASHION STANDARDS AND ENCOURAGE OTHER WOMEN TO BE MORE HEALTHY!!! WE WANT TO RECOMMEND THE REFORM DRESS TO ALL SO THEY CAN SEE THE FAULTS OF THE FASHIONABLE REDICULOUS STYLE AND THE GARANTEED BENEFITS OF OURS. BUT ALWAYS CONSIDER AND REMEMBER...THE POWER OF FASHION IS TERRIBLE!!!
AMELIA BLOOMER
Hopes to establish the idea of women getting rid of thier petticoats in exchange for the "bloomer fashion". she also suggests women find trousers like ones worn by Turkish women instead of thier heavy skirts.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY
Adds campaigns for "bloomers" with Elizabeth Cady Stanton through thier New York women's rights committee.
DR. GUSTAV JAEGER
Wants everyone to use wool fibers in thier clothing as he feels it will be more hygienic.
Dress Reform parlors:
Help us establish dress reform parlors so women can buy sewing patterns for thier dresses or buy the dress directly.
Success of our movement:
The establishment of undergarments was formed and it gave women the luxury of not being exposed.
Failures of our movement:
Failed to make worlwide change in women's fashion, social, political, and cultural shifts. Little changed in restricted fashion. We hope you come out and help us turn this around.
