In 1885, professor Curt Wallis brought with him the English language dress reform book "Dress and Health" from abroad, which was translated to Swedish by Oscara von Sydow as "Reformdrägten: En bok för qvinnor skrifven af qvinnor". After a speech by Anne Charlotte Leffler held at the women's club "Nya Idun", the Friends of Handicraft gave Hanna Winge the assignment to design a reform costume, which was produced by Augusta Lundin and exhibited in public, which gave further publicity to the issue, and in 1886, the Swedish Dress Reform Society was founded.
