EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the essence of summer elegance from the Edwardian era, featuring a fashionable woman adorned in a stunning tunic frock from 1909. The dress, with its high neck and narrow waist, is accentuated by the intricate rats tail embroideries in mauve and gold on a delicate net fabric. The woman completes her outfit with a Merry Widow hat, a symbol of the era's fashionable headwear. The hat, adorned with plumes, adds an air of sophistication and playfulness to her ensemble. The woman holds a parasol, a necessary accessory for protecting oneself from the sun during the summer months. The parasol, with its elegant design and intricate patterns, complements the dress and hat perfectly. The overall effect is one of refined beauty and timeless elegance, transporting us back to a bygone era of grace and style. The Edwardian era, spanning from 1901 to 1910, was known for its elaborate and ornate clothing designs. Women's fashion during this time emphasized the hourglass figure, with corsets and high collars being popular choices. However, the tunic frock, with its loose-fitting design and emphasis on the natural waist, represented a departure from the more restrictive styles of the time. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic design and the beauty of the Edwardian era.
