The well-known story within fashion history is of Chanel being the inventor of the little black dress and 1926 being the date, and thats because a very simple, long-sleeved day dress of silk crepe de Chine was featured in American Vogue in the October edition and it called this dress the frock that all the world will wear

Thanks to the sewing machine, the paper pattern, and affordable fabrics, the working classes could finally, feasibly, dress like high societyeven if they were now only permitted to do so after work hours
