EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite evening gown, captured in a photograph published by the Illustrated London News Ltd in 1912, showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the Edwardian era. The woman in the image wears a sulphur-yellow charmeuse and lace gown, softened with delicate black tulle. The charmeuse, a luxurious and smooth silk, clings to her figure, highlighting the feminine curves, while the intricate lace overlay adds a delicate and ethereal touch. The gown is complemented by a headdress adorned with pearls and feathers, adding a touch of glamour and opulence to the ensemble. The Larona corsets worn beneath the gown are not visible in this image, but were an essential component of women's fashion during this time, providing support and shaping the silhouette. The Edwardian era was known for its ornate and elaborate clothing, with a focus on luxury fabrics and intricate detailing. This gown is a prime example of the extravagance and beauty of the era, and the woman in the photograph exudes grace and poise as she poses for the camera. The use of sulphur-yellow, a bold and vibrant color, adds a sense of energy and excitement to the image, making it a truly captivating and timeless piece of fashion history.
