In this issue, we will not talk about the ancestors' fashion heritage. Let’s take a look at some of the fashion items popular during the period of the Republic of China. I heard that bib and strap skirts have become popular again. How do these two kinds of retro elements come from?

Overalls are called Dungarees in English. The word comes from the Hindi “Dungri†and refers to blue muslin for sails when sailing. If the canvas breaks or is damaged by the storm, the seamen will cut the cloth and make it into pants. This upper body bib, pants with pockets and straps became the workers of the early 20th century. Although women have been wearing overalls since the early 1930s, it is generally believed that the real popularity of overalls in women's clothing began during World War II. Because a large number of men are on the battlefield and the rear labor force is vacant, many women fill this gap. They responded to the call, opened up farmland, organized logging teams, and so on. They wore practical clothing such as blue overalls, corduroy breeches, and canvas leggings. They invested in industrial and agricultural production and did a lot of social work in the rear. In this situation, they became the most special scenery of the time, and the overalls they wore became a part of the trend.

In the same period in China, the problems faced by the current situation are the same as those in the Western world: In 1937, the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Sino-Japanese war broke out in an all-out way, and China opened the eight-year war that was extremely difficult. The popularity of overalls was also brought to China during this period. From the late 1930s to the 1940s, a large number of women were seen wearing bib pants. However, in China, it was only for fashion that the bib was "real". At that time, most of the wearers were female students and progressive women.

The Pinafore Dress is a creature of overalls. Its English name is an apron dress. Chen Yunshang, a hot female celebrity at the time, usually likes to wear a suit, but in this period she was wearing a strappy dress on several occasions when she was photographed by news media. Didn't it know if the strappy dress was associated with the dress of the 1939 Hollywood movie "The Wizard of Oz"?

After the forties in overalls, due to its inherent “worker-peasant†temperament, it did not suffer criticisms such as cheongsam and other fashions. Especially after the three major reforms in 1956, young men and women put on blue overalls to make themselves more like a member of the working class. The gradual change of the strap skirt to a style of school uniform has become one of the children's costumes.

At the beginning of the 1980s, Gong Xuexue, a film actor, covered the cover of "Popular Movie", wearing a small floral shirt and blue overalls.
The time came back in a circle. The current style of overalls and strap skirts are innumerable, and it is not like the simplicity of the year. Compared to t-shirts and cowboys who were also born in the working class, bib and bib skirts have not become classics, but they have become a retro and fashionable choice, and they have been revived from time to time.
