With the short skirt went an extraordinary change in the weight and material and amount of women's clothing. The boyishly slender figure became the aim of every woman's ambition, and the corset was so far abandoned that even in so short a period as the three years from 1924 to 1927 the combined sales of corsets and brassières in the department stores of the Cleveland Federal Reserve District fell off 11 per cent. [Frederick Lewis Allen, "Only Yesterday," 1931]
随着短裙的流行,女性服装的重量、材料和数量发生了非同寻常的变化。男孩般苗条的身材成为每个女人的追求目标,紧身衣被放弃,甚至在短短的三年内,即从1924年到1927年,在克利夫兰联邦储备区的百货公司中,紧身衣和胸罩的销售总量下降了11%。[弗雷德里克·刘易斯·艾伦,“昨日之光”,1931年]
