EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion in the early 1900s, specifically in the year 1909. The image features a woman wearing an exquisitely tailored dress made of natural-colored shantung fabric, adorned with queue-de-rat braiding. The corset skirt of the dress is cleverly hidden beneath a smart vest made of white pique, which is piped with black satin. The satin detailing is repeated in the stock collar and tie, adding a touch of refinement to the outfit. The woman completes her ensemble with a large, full-length parasol, shielding her from the sun's rays. Her hat, also made of black satin, is adorned with plumes, adding a playful and feminine touch to the outfit. The overall effect is one of grace and elegance, reflecting the Edwardian era's obsession with refined and intricately detailed clothing. The use of natural-colored shantung fabric and queue-de-rat braiding was a popular choice during this time, as it allowed for a subtle yet eye-catching texture and pattern. The vest and corset skirt design were also common in the early 1900s, as they allowed for a more streamlined and modern look while still maintaining the hourglass silhouette that was popular during the Edwardian era. This photograph is a beautiful example of the intricate and detailed clothing that defined women's fashion during the early 1900s. The use of natural fabrics, intricate braiding, and refined detailing showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these stunning outfits. The parasol and hat add an additional layer of elegance and completeness to the outfit, making this a truly captivating image from the Edwardian era.
