This charming photograph from 1909 showcases two elegant women dressed in fashionable attire for Cowes Week, an annual sailing regatta held in Cowes, Isle of Wight. The image on the left features the first woman wearing a pink tussore frock, a lightweight and lustrous silk fabric, accented with a grey silk sash. The sleeves of her outfit are made of blue and white striped lawn, adding a playful nautical touch. Completing her ensemble is the latest yachting hat, crafted from black glazed material and lined under the brim with pink tussore to harmonize with her dress. On the right, the second woman is depicted in a navy linen outfit, a classic and timeless choice for the seaside event. Her skirt is designed in the style of la veuse, a popular trend during the Edwardian era, while her sailor collar is made of white pique, a breathable and textured fabric. This outfit embodies the sailor aesthetic, making it perfect for the nautical-themed Cowes Week. These exquisite costumes reflect the fashion trends of the early 1900s, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of women's attire during that era. Cowes Week continues to be a celebrated event, attracting sailors and fashion enthusiasts alike, and these stunning outfits serve as a reminder of the rich history and tradition behind this iconic regatta.
