French Fry Fashions: The beginning of French Fashion

I am not much of a history buff, but looking at the fashions of France from the 1800s to the 1930s is interesting to me. They went through such a dramatic transformation from decade to decade. Always keeping it fresh and different is something that I feel, they still do to this day.

From 1800-1837 was called the Georgian Era, because of King George. This time period was all about the empire waist, and fur lined coats.

The next era was the Victorian Era, which lasted for quite a while. This time is the ballgown, tons of bustle, and fancy look.

After the Victorian Era, was the early 20th Century. This period of time was all about the jewels. Women adorned themselves with them and had their hair back in those puffy buns. Here is an example:

Flappers! Flappers! This was the first time in fashion history in France, that all could afford to have this look. Up until then, the poor could not afford the decadence of the fur and jewels. So with everyone accessible to this flapper look, it took off in popularity and uniqueness.
