@@victoriakathleen01 The history of words is always interesting. I heard this on Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition, so there wasn't any reference to earlier uses. Slang terms do get around though. I wonder if it was galoshes or just leather shoes. Those Victorian high button shoes that needed button hooks would have taken some time to put on, a woman who was getting in and out of her clothes might not have bothered. Then it was an act of rebellion against fashion, then a great place to hide your flask of gin. Or a different word that took on that meaning. Very interesting, thanks!

youre right that flapper dresses were never that short, but flappers were not sex workers! they were actually feminist who liked to push back against social norms by dressing "scandalously", drinking, smoking, and other such things :)
Everybody knows what a flapper is, but do you know the etymology? The word origin in all likelihood is ’prostitute’. "The word "flap" was slang in the 17th century for a prostitute[1]: by the late 19th century in England "flapper" could mean either a very young prostitute......."
@@VideoDotGoogleDotComno one knows how the word came to be, which means all we have at best is speculation, and no definitive thing. While it’s fine to speculate, it’s also important to not take speculation as fact, and to embrace modern definitions, not just old ones. Many words we use today had wildly different meanings than they do now, but that doesn’t mean the word is related to that. Maybe it came to be in the same way some people will tell young woman they “look like hookers” as a way to speak negatively about how they dress, and maybe the women of the 1920s decided to reclaim the word. We’ll never know.
It’s so awesome that you followed through! Team Cockroach! This has given me motivation to work on some of my projects that I’ve put on hold. Thank you!
By the time the "flapper" era came around, it was actually not a term for prostitutes. It was, from the 17th to late 19th century, but by the time the 20th century arrived, it was pretty much officially defined as a dancer or stage performer, and then by the 1920s, it was basically any young woman who went to dance clubs, because of the way they flapped their arms while doing the Charleston. So yeah, it's a word with a very long and complex history. Not just "Sex worker".
I don’t think it particularly matters if they actually were sex workers, the girls who wore the flapper style and lived the life were still looked down upon as women willing to sleep around. and even though our society now romanticized the flapper as the “IT” style of the 20s, that’s not actually what most of the population wore. And that distinction matters. It would be like saying the style people wear to a rave is the style that everyone is wearing now when clearly that’s not true. But I do agree, the term has a rich history!
@@Sparklingjm1Yep like mostly rich young upper class women dressed like that and many were expected to settle down once they got to marriage and motherhood age. Though many didn’t of course bc being rich freed you from a lot of social norms
this is absolutely something some celebrity should wear to a gala or event 😍 love the design! Could you try to do something out of second hand material? Like some item you found plenty of in a second hand store? would be interesting
Flapper absolutely did not mean sex worker it was a term used to describe the teenagers of the time... you were correct about the hemlines not being that short though.
Sorry late to seeing your reply, The term flapper was used to refer to a young/teenage person far earlier than the 1890s, as far back as the first 1600s the term was used to describe a young/teenage girl. Now there is evidence that the term Flap which in some parts of the UK was used to describe a female child prostitute but the words were separate, there was a brief cross over in the 1890s with the words getting mixed around... but as a whole the flapper meant young /teenage girl for most of history. 💜
Flapper was just someone who was fashionable enjoying themselves and not being confined to conventional standards. (so yes technically SWers, but not really.) They were basically feminists before feminist was even a word.
Flappers were younger women who dated instead of marrying immediately. The older generation gave it to them in reference to the loose flowy clothes they wore and the clothing flapping as they danced. This was a big reason behind the alcohol ban in the 18th amendment. (:
Hi! Your chain dress is so amazing, but here, if you're aming for 1920s fashion, the skirt is way to short. 1920s skirts are shorter than they were about they were still longer than the knees. However, if you're aiming for the late 1920s its pretty much short though, but its sorta alright. Again, the results are amazing, and your hard work is worth it!
I love how its so solid, its actually a dress and not just a chain overlay

The term flapper meant a woman who dressed and acted outrageously, not a sex worker. Flappers would engage in social life and smoke and drink.
It meant sex worker in the 1600s and then started taking on that new meaning in the 1890s :)

Flappers dresses never were above the knee but I understand why you’d make it shorter it would take soooo long and weigh so much
Flapper dresses were usually on the knee, however most women in the 1920’s wore much longer dresses
Yea it was only I think in 1926 where dresses were knee length the rest of the 20’s the dresses were roughly mid calf length
@@emilyrose3490 Most women had dresses a little below the knee, the only people who had dresses above the knee were prostitutes and dancers.
Also, flappers weren’t limited to this dress. Neither just s worker. It was label given to the rebellious youths.
She did say "no one in the 1920s wore dresses this short"
“Something about a craft store makes me go feral”
Yes

Flapper was just someone who was fashionable enjoying themselves and not being confined to conventional standards. (so yes technically SWers, but not really.) They were basically feminists before feminist was even a word.
They were also gnc, persisted on breaking gender norms (especially this was after ww1), and love to party!
