Etymology

The term 'shirtwaist' comes from a combination of 'shirt' and 'waist', indicating a garment that combines the elements of a shirt with a fitted waistline. Its origins can be traced back to the late 19th century, when women's fashion began to shift towards more practical and functional clothing. As women's roles expanded in society, clothing like the shirtwaist allowed for both style and comfort. The shirtwaist became particularly popular with the advent of ready-to-wear fashion and mass production, making it accessible to many women. The shirtwaist also gained historical significance during the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City, which highlighted the unsafe working conditions for garment workers and played a crucial role in the labor rights movement.
