It remained popular during the 1930's Great Depression because of the simplicity and affordability.
The roaring twenties were in full swing when Vogue featured Coco's Chanels "little black dress', she produced a dress that had simple lines. The magazine cover showed a drawing of a women posing in pumps, pearls and a cloche and a Lon-sleeved black dress elated to a low waist.
