Question

why did the women reformers give up their effort to bring changes in drees

Answer 1

As women began to press for dress reform , they were ridiculed by the conservative society , who did not approve of such reforms.

A) Conservatives argued that women who gave up their traditional norms and style no longer looked beautiful.
B) Conservatives criticised  such women and argued that such women no longer looked feminine and had lost grace.
 
Many women reformers because of such criticism found difficult to change and began to conform to traditional norms of clothing.
