EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning evening dress, dated 1919, is a beautiful example of the fashion trends of the Roaring Twenties. Known as the "La Robe Dindon," this barrel-line gown features narrow shoulder straps that gracefully descend into a long train, adorned with plumes. The entire ensemble, including the high headdress, is intricately decorated with these feathery accents, adding an air of elegance and glamour. The woman in the photograph is captured in a moment of vanity, admiring her reflection in the mirror. She wears the dress with pride, accentuating her waist with a cummerbund and a sash. The barrel-line design of the dress flatters her figure, creating an hourglass silhouette. The plumes on the train and headdress add a playful touch to the formal attire, reflecting the spirit of the era. The La Robe Dindon was a popular choice for formal events during the 1910s and 1920s. Its unique design and ornate details were a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of glamour, sophistication, and self-expression. The woman in the photograph embodies the spirit of the times, exuding confidence and allure in her beautiful evening gown.
