This was also the era when Morality was gradually less overrated. Hemlines were a big issue and vast change in the ability of women to move easier, get jobs and be a part of active society. What is the reason that today’s fashion brings back long hemlines? Though bodies of garments are now very comfortable, following the woman’s body instead of chocking it with a corset, we see a multitude of the lingerie look.

This is our default when shopping for clothes, either as buyers for our store or as shoppers.How can we choose newness yet stay in our comfort zone?
