Add to SetSummary
Ready-made, mass market clothing was made possible by the development of factory-made cloth, the invention of the sewing machine, and the creation of standardized sizes. By the early 20th century, the ready-to-wear clothing industry could turn out generally good and stylish clothing for men, women, and children at affordable prices. Clothing became more available and affordable to greater numbers of people.
