  2. Girl's underwear was cumbersome: flannel vest, cotton chemise, buckram bodice with cotton drawers buttoned to it, flannel and cotton petticoats with bodices. Separates became fashionable in the 1890s and girls could wear skirts and blouses instead of dresses. Sailor suits were also popular for girls as school or holiday wear from around the 1890s until the 1920s. Yoked dresses, avoiding the tight waist with their smock shape, came into vogue and were worn until about 1910. In 1908 liberty bodices, in knitted cotton fabrics, began to replace the tortuous corsets. Pinafores were introduced in 1912, followed by the ubiquitous school gymslip in the 1920s. In 1919 waists dropped to hip level and in 1925 skirts rose to knee length. By 1926 liberty bodices and vests were sleeveless; knickers were knee length. Girls' fashions had been liberated; though by the 1930s the 'Shirley Temple look' of longer skirts, frills and flounces had become popular.
