EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'At Dressmakers, 1913,' transports us back in time to an era of elegance and opulence. The photograph depicts a dressmaker intently adjusting the hem of a stunning tango skirt, meticulously ensuring a perfect fit for her client. The skirt, worn with a backless, sleeveless tunic, is adorned with intricate beadwork and fringe, exuding the sultry allure of the popular tango dance. A gentleman, dressed in formal attire, stands nearby, holding the dressmaker's fur-trimmed mantle. His attentive presence suggests the role of a 'sugar daddy,' providing financial support and companionship to the dressmaker. The room is filled with an air of anticipation, as the lampshade casts a warm, inviting glow over the scene. The dressmaker's workspace is cluttered with various articles of clothing, including a lacy corset and stockings, signaling the transformation that takes place within these walls. The striped sash, casually draped over a chair, adds a pop of color and texture to the otherwise monochromatic scene. This photograph is a captivating snapshot of the intricate world of early 20th century dressmaking, where artistry, fashion, and the human connection intertwined to create timeless memories.
