Concept history
Today, dungarees are generally understood to mean trousers with a bib and braces. In the first third of the 20th century. it meant trousers with a flap on the front trousers that went from crease to crease. Their fly was sewn shut, and so that the dungarees did not fall off the wearer when the flap was unbuttoned, the trousers were provided with a bib at the top. The flap was buttoned onto the bib, and the side pockets were also attached to the bib. Dungarees as short traditional trousers were available for 21 goods procurement points on a Reich clothing card from 1940.
Fashionable appearance
During World War II, attractive uniforms were a means of recruiting women into the US and UK Army and Navy. Women on duty tried to combine the uniforms, dungarees and overalls in a fashionable way.
In the 1970s and 1980s, dungarees were fashionable and especially seen in the eco scene and the women's movement, but they proved impractical when going to the toilet.
