Teenage girls walking along the sidewalk in Kensington, London, 1907

    Young girls wore shorter dresses or skirts until adulthood, and adult ladies wore longer dresses, which was appropriate in 1907

      Interesting to learn about the shorter dresses and skirts until adulthood. 

      For anyone who doesn’t know, apparently, the shorter dresses and skirts were worn to symbolize their youth and early development. It also gave them more freedom to run around and play. Then the switch to longer dresses that covered their legs and feet symbolized the transition into adulthood, signifying that important milestone in their life, making them feel mature and respectable in society.
