EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the summer of 1909, an era of elegance and refinement, as we explore the fashion trends for women through this photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online. Two stunning examples of Princess frocks take center stage, each distinctly modeled with a pleated skirt falling gracefully from a tight-fitting tunic, available in both long and short lengths. The Princess frock, a popular choice for women during the Edwardian era, was characterized by its high neckline, which added an air of sophistication and modesty. The tunic, fitted at the waist and loose at the hips, accentuated the feminine figure while allowing for ease and comfort. The pleated skirt, often made of light, flowing fabric, added a playful and youthful touch to the ensemble. Accessories played an essential role in completing the look. Brimmed hats, adorned with ribbons and flowers, shielded women from the sun and added a touch of whimsy to their outfits. Parasols, with their intricate designs and vibrant colors, provided additional protection from the elements. Purses and bags, often made of leather or decorative fabrics, were carried to hold essentials and added a practical touch to the outfit. The floral patterns and delicate ribbons on the frocks and accessories reflected the natural beauty of the season, while the high necklines and long sleeves offered protection from the sun. The women in this photograph exude confidence and charm, embodying the grace and elegance of the Edwardian era. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the fashionable world of women in 1909, showcasing the timeless beauty and allure of the Princess frock. It is a reminder of a bygone era, where fashion was an art form and an expression of individuality and femininity.
