The skirts were low cut, just about at the knees. Before, they were at the ankles.
1920's
Fashion in 1890-1920 is considered the belle epoque or Victorian era of fashion. Fashions included several layers of stockings, bustles, and corsets. Long dresses and skirt sets and various styles and colors were the fashion. As a lady, you would find yourself changing your outfit very many times each day. One for mornings, one for a ride in an automobile, one for your walk in the park, one for tea, several evening and ball gowns, and many more things society expected you to wear. Fashions varied towards the time of the world war, because of rations on fabric. Fashion during the belle epoque era was generally very beautiful and began to shape fashion today.
Many homes of this period were decorated in the Arts & Crafts style, variations of traditional Georgian and Colonial styles, or Art Moderne which embraced the marvels of the Machine Age of the 1920's and 1930's.
An A-line skirt is a skirt that is fitted at the hips and gradually widens towards the hem, giving the impression of the shape of a capital letter A.
Yes, look back in history and you can see many styles that were popular but aren't today. For instance in the French court in the 1700's men wore high heels before it became a style for women. I imagine you don't have a 1950's poodle skirt hanging in your closet.
In 1900, we were in the Victorian era and clothing reflected the style of that era. Skirts were long, slim in the hip, and fullness was confined to the area below the knee.

Women's skirt styles vary primarily by length and tightness. Some common skirt styles are the maxi skirt, which is floor-length, tea length skirt, which falls to the mid-calf, pencil skirts, which are tighter-fitting and come to the knee, and mini-skirts, which are also tight and fall mid-thigh.
