Added 2024-06-28 11:00:26 +0000 UTCGrass skirts became popular during the vaudeville era as Pacific Islanders began performing in the vaudeville circuit on US mainland. the fresh leaves they would typically be made with weren’t available so grass was used.
they became especially popular after WW2 with the rise in Tiki culture as (an Americanized and inaccurate) symbol of the allure of the South Pacific. 🗿🌺🌊
