On June 9, 2021, “Headlines and Heroes” published a blog post highlighting women’s fashion in the 20th century as shown in newspapers. Although we are proud to enhance discoverability of the Library’s Chronicling America newspaper collections, the blog post used content from the Fashion History Timeline from the Fashion Institute of Technology in an inappropriate manner. After considering concerns raised with the post, the Library made the decision to remove the blog post. “Headlines and Heroes” apologizes both to the Fashion Institute of Technology — whose important work we did not appropriately recognize —and to its readers.

Such wonderful blogs with almost all the current scenarios intact..
You created some clear points there. I looked online for the topic matter and identified most guys will consent with your website.
Thank you for this, the pictures have helped me date a dress I have to sometime between 1908 and 1909.
Really enjoyed your article as its highly informative.
I wish we could go back to this form of fashion. Back to a time when women embraced femininity instead of trying to hide it. I really do love hats and gloves and long skirts!
I had a short story idea about a pair of young ladies in Illinois: one to be a maid-of-honor & the other a flower girl. It was pre-automobile but post Civil War times & I was hoping to find a photographic history of Illinois women’s fashions for that time. Your history is very interesting, but doesn’t cover my time frame. By chance, do you have any suggestions of where I should look?
