In 1938, Maryland’s Claire McCardell started changing women’s fashion
McCardell’s creations contained an alchemy that so many of us still seek: the ability to command the narrative of our own bodies, and to be seen not as mere eye candy but as a person to be reckoned with.”McCardell was born in 1905 to a Southern belle mother and a bank executive father. She was the oldest of four, the only girl. She played with her brothers.
And how was it put together? With not enough thought given to how women actually lived. “I do not like glitter,” McCardell later said. “I like comfort in the rain, in the sun, comfort for active sports, comfort for sitting still and looking pretty. Clothes should be useful.”In 1938, McCardell was back in New York, working for clothing manufacturer Townley Frocks.
The buyer found that dress more interesting than anything else in the Townley collection and bought it off McCardell’s back to put into production. Because of its cassock-like simplicity, the dress became known as the “Monastic.”
