The time before the year 1920 had reservations for the black dress. If a man died before his wife in those days, his wife the widow was supposed to mourn for a period of about two years. During this time, she was closely monitored because she was only to wear black attire. This period was divided into three stages of mourning. The first stage took one year and one day, and it was referred to as the deep mourning stage. During this time, the widow was supposed to wear only a black dress without any accessories. The following stage was nine months long and it was the period of ordinary mourning. During this period, the widow had the freedom of wearing some accessories although they had to be black. The last stage was the half mourning and the woman could start to use neutral colors. However, these rules faded during the First World War. This is because most men died and it was hard to follow up who was following the norm and who was not.
In the year 1926, the famous Gabrielle “Coco” made a publication of a black dress in one of the papers at the time. He referred to the dress as a dress for the women of taste. This publication started popularizing the dress. The other factors that contributed to the popularity of the dress were the great depression and the influence from Hollywood in North America. The latter was because black color would give higher quality movies than other colors. The Second World War also contributed to the popularity of the dress because textiles were limited and women had to wear a black dress to work.
The 1960’s saw more designs of the dress. This was because the young women of the days loved to have miniskirt versions of the dress. As a result, designers had to take the advantage of this need by designing short dresses. The designs grew by the day with the inclusion of slits in both the skirt and the top of the dress, and in other cases, fabrics like netting and tulle were used.
The 1980’s witnessed a generation that loved the casual black dress as well as the business dress. This resulted in the fitting dresses of varying lengths that were also worn with different shoes. However, the dress is sometimes overvalued. For example, at the Covent Garden in London, a director fired an obese actor from the opera because she was too big to fit in a cocktail dress.
