"Dames: A Glimpse into the Glamour of the Past" Step back in time to 1914, where fashionable couples danced energetically at a ball, exuding elegance and grace. The air was filled with excitement as Lourdes, France witnessed the crowning of The Virgin statue, a symbol of devotion and faith. In this era of opulence, a woman adorned herself in a coral taffeta ball gown with silk ruffles that cascaded down her silhouette. Meanwhile, British prisoners during World War I displayed resilience amidst adversity. The Mother Goose Pantomime brought joy and laughter to all who attended. As melodies filled the air, music covers like "I Only Have Eyes for You" captured hearts and created lasting memories. Men embraced fashion trends too; one gentleman stood tall in his new blue suit complemented by a pearl vest and crisp white shirt in 1913. Jewelry by Veyer added an extra touch of glamour - earrings twinkled alongside necklaces while dragonfly bracelets fluttered delicately on wrists. A young man donned a fashionable outfit complete with a top hat and cane in 1912 - epitomizing sophistication. And not to be outdone, women showcased their style with dresses made from bleu crepe de chine fabric paired elegantly with capes. For grand occasions, evening dresses crafted from silver brocade shimmered under dim lights while blue wigs adorned heads embellished with feathers - truly making heads turn wherever they went. And let's not forget Sir George Edward Wade (1869-1954), better known as George Robey - an iconic comedian whose wit brought smiles to faces across generations. These glimpses into the past remind us of the timeless allure that dames possessed throughout history – their fashion choices reflecting both societal norms and personal expression.
