http://history1900s.about.com/od/1920s/a/flappers.htm
Summary: During the roaring twenties there was a mixture of music and fashion. There was a type of thing called a "flapper" which was girls who wore make up and cutted hair and who also went to petting parties. Also they used the term "flapper" to describe young ladies. A flapper was describe in several ways, heres how F. Scott Fitzgerald described a flapper, "lovely, expensive, and about nineteen." Whereas in America a flapper has been a attractive and slightly thing who could be sometimes foolish. It also states how the image was. The image was that like they had clothes that were cut or trimmed down which made them move easier. Ladies also made them selves look little boys or as they called it, "garconne". To do this they would flatten their chest with strips of cloth. Also the clothes were dropped to their hiplines to succeed in this look.
