Although fashion did not embrace the look of trousers on the female form until the late 20th century, history saw working women wearing them a hundred years prior. From Victorian coal miners who rolled up their skirts around their waist to reveal soot-covered pants underneath to today’s terrible backlash of factory-torn denim, spandex jeggings, and bedazzled bums, women’s pants have undergone quite a transformation. Let’s take a look at the early fashion of women’s pants from the festooned Victorian era right on through to the ultra glamorous 1930s.

A drag queen is a person, usually male, who dresses in the clothing of the opposite sex and often acts with exaggerated femininity for the purpose of entertainment or fashion.

Today's starlets pale in comparison to the glamorous flappers of the 1920s! This beauty wears a cap and gown of what looks like feathers and has angel wings. She is absolutely captivating! If only old photos could talk.... You are purchasing a DIGITAL FILE which you will DOWNLOAD after purchase so can print your own 8 x 10 black and white 300dpi image. For best results, use high quality matte finish photo paper. Or, you can have the file printed by a professional service such as Shutterfly, Snapfish, or your local photo finishing outlet like Walgreens or Walmart. AGAIN, YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING A PHYSICAL ITEM. Note that this image is vintage and will not necessarily have the sharpness and clarity of today's images, although every effort has been made to adjust them so that they are of the highest quality possible. FOR THAT REASON, THE IMAGE SHOULD NOT BE PRINTED LARGER THAN 8 X 10 OR LOSS OF CLARITY WILL OCCUR. After purchase, you can access your downloads by visiting your Etsy Profile > Purchases and Reviews If you purchased as a 'guest', you will receive an automated email from Etsy containing your download links. Once payment is cleared, Etsy will notify you that your downloads are available. If you have any questions about the download process, please visit Etsy’s help center: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/3949 TERMS OF USE: You may use the purchased image as many times as you like for personal use or incorporate it into a product for sale, such as selling it as an actual print in your bricks and mortar shop. You MAY NOT resell the digital image itself in any way online. IMPORTANT NOTE: I consider this image to be equivalent to "altered art" or "upcycled" items -- because if it wasn't extensively repaired by me, it wouldn't truly be able to be "brought back to life." I have to alter the images in order to restore them -- repairing tears, stains and blotches, doing extensive work in Photoshop. Sometimes I have to add background (or remove items) to get the image to fit today's sizes. Don't be fooled by others who sell images that are not restored in any way -- not until you enlarge them to look at the actual pixels can you see all the scratches, black spots, and many other imperfections in these antique images. Only with this time-consuming, painstaking restoration can you achieve a quality print.

If there is one photographer known for editorials that evoke a luxurious trip to an exotic location such as India or Morocco, and with a suitcase full of exquisite clothes ideal for the occasion, it’s Norman Parkinson. Not only did he revolutionise British Harper’s Bazaar by bringing fashion from the studio to a dynamic outdoor setting—and frequently overseas—but he brought post-war photography a sense of the unexpected . . . . . . his models stood dressed in pink mohair […]
