Question

during the 19th century in England or America what changes in women clothing took place

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Before the seventeenth century, most ordinary women in Britain possessed very few clothes made of flax, linen or wool, which were difficult to clean

During the Industrial Revolution, in the nineteenth century, Britain began the mass manufacture of cotton textiles which it exported to many parts of the world, including India.

In the late 1870s, clothes got lighter, shorter and simpler.

Until 1914, clothes were ankle length, as they had been since the thirteenth century.

By 1915, however, the hemline of the skirt rose dramatically to mid-calf.
