The history of Women Wearing Pants

[amandainvermont]

VFG member Lizzie wrote a terrific four part series in her blog, The Vintage Traveler, on the evolution of women wearing skirts for hiking and gradually switching over to pants. HERE. Great information.

Amanda, thanks so much for posting the link. This was actually a paper that I presented at my regional Costume Society of America symposium this week, but I could not resist sharing it on my blog. When One puts that kind of work into something, one has the urge to overshare!

I've been saving this for when I knew I wouldn't be interrupted because I knew it would be a great read , and I wasn't disappointed!

Just a wonderful piece! Fabulous pictures!

I panicked for a bit after part 1, as I thought it wasn't all there and I had to wait for part two. lol
A couple of back and forth looks and I found where to click. whewww....
It really was a great read Lizzie.
