The evening gown is an invention of the 20th century. In fact, dressing
entirely differently for evening only began in the 1920s. In previous
centuries, dress styles had been almost the same for day and night.
Then, as happens with fashion, the ladies changed their minds. Although
they hankered after a practical form of dress for daytime, they wished
to reassert their femininity after dark.
The evening dress got its
cachet from the fact that as skirts
for day shortened, skirts for evening remained long. Either slinky or
floaty, a glamorous evening gown was 'de rigueur' for a woman of
fashion. How else could she show off the diamonds that the novel
Gentleman Prefer Blonds had convinced her were almost her birthright?
