Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Missouri - Columbia, 1999.

Mention of the "roaring" 1920s conjures up images of flappers as rebellious, Charleston-dancing women identified by their bound breasts, bobbed hair, and short, waistless dresses. While media and literature perpetuate these images, it is unclear if such homogenized stereotypes apply to women who lived ordinary lives in ordinary places. This study of 1920s dress questioned, "What relevance did the lifestyles and values traditionally associated with the visual images of flappers and flapper dress have for 1920s women from the small town of Columbia, Missouri," and "What meaning did 1920s dress have in the lives of the women who wore it?" Transcripts were analyzed from interviews conducted with 12 women who lived in Columbia, Missouri during the 1920s.

520 $a Mention of the "roaring" 1920s conjures up images of flappers as rebellious, Charleston-dancing women identified by their bound breasts, bobbed hair, and short, waistless dresses. While media and literature perpetuate these images, it is unclear if such homogenized stereotypes apply to women who lived ordinary lives in ordinary places. This study of 1920s dress questioned, "What relevance did the lifestyles and values traditionally associated with the visual images of flappers and flapper dress have for 1920s women from the small town of Columbia, Missouri," and "What meaning did 1920s dress have in the lives of the women who wore it?" Transcripts were analyzed from interviews conducted with 12 women who lived in Columbia, Missouri during the 1920s.
520 $a While only one woman professed to have been a flapper, 11 maintained there was a great degree of independence between their flapper-style dress and the lifestyles; and values generally attributed to flappers. These women consistently described the flapper as being someone different from themselves. They did not experience the 1920s as a time of dramatic social change or sexual promiscuity, but strongly associated the Charleston dance with the decade. They stated that very few women were flappers and they infrequently used the term during the 1920s to label women. They used "flapper" to reference a dance style, dress style, and lifestyle choices.
520 $a The meaning of "what" these women wore and "where" they got their clothing were interdependent issues strongly associated with "parental approval." Descriptions of their "limited" wardrobes, bobbed hair, and few cosmetics were provided. These data showed that clothing was most often home-sewn by mothers while purchasing outer garments and accessories was common. Contrary to much scholarship, these women recalled that their "shorter" 1920s fashions were not controversial because their mothers were constructing and/or purchasing their clothing. Because parents taught their children proper habits of dress, appearance, and behavior, these women felt that their clothing and appearance symbolized "respectfulness" and "appropriateness."
