EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of autumn fashion in 1913, as showcased in this photograph from the Illustrated London News. On the left, a woman dons a blue velvet gown, its rich hue complemented by a border of luxurious fur. The outfit is completed with a vest of soft muslin, adorned with Oriental embroidery and small buttons. The corsage, a delicate touch of elegance, adds an air of sophistication to the ensemble. On the right, another woman presents a walking dress of draped velvet, its fluid lines accentuated by the softness of the fabric. The tunic is trimmed with plush fur, adding a sense of warmth and opulence to the outfit. A vest of soft lace catches the waist, its intricate embroidery adding a feminine touch. Both women accessorize their looks with hats adorned with plumes and birds, adding a playful and whimsical touch to their autumn attire. The hats, along with the fur trims, harken back to the Edwardian era's love for luxurious textiles and ornate details. As the leaves begin to change color and the air grows crisp, these outfits offer a glimpse into the fashionable world of pre-war women. The charm of velvet and fur, combined with delicate lace and intricate embroidery, make for an unforgettable display of autumn elegance.
