Description
Here is a close up of the dress from early 1900s era.
By 1900, any lady of good class – with the help of a lady’s maid – would have forced herself, daily, as her mother and grandmother had done, into restrictive, suffocating boned corsets. They pulled waists, and a woman’s digestive organs into tiny circlets of 20 inches or less.
If it sounds painful – it by all accounts was . The sale of smelling salts certainly did well during this era.
But the new century, at the height of the Belle Epoch ( beautiful era) was bowing to simplicity and to common sense. Though details were still elaborate, fussy trimmings and unnatural lines were gradually being abandoned.
This trend of simplicity was enormously intensified and sped up by the The Great War, which clearly established two great principles in women’s dress — freedom and convenience.
Women took to wearing more tailored jackets, worn with long skirts [ and a slight raise of the hem ] and high heel ankle boots.
The silhouette moved gradually along a decreasing s-curve from 1901 to the Empire line by 1910 . Common colors for Edwardian women’s day-wear were combination two tone affairs of pale tops and dark skirts.

Wonderful detail in this great capture! The material seems to be of very good quality. Wondering if it is linen, wool or cotton. l/f/t/p/fb

Thank you and I dont think its linen, i think wool or cotton, but I also read that cotton was fashinable in that time ! :)

Certainly a style of a bygone era...of course, nowadays women may wear spanx (not me) instead to do the same thing corsets did. So, maybe we haven't changed so much! Lovely capture! LF
