This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the world of German dressmaking during the Edwardian era. The image depicts an upper class woman being measured for a new dress in the fashionable confines of a German fashion house. The woman, dressed in an elegant gown, kneels before a skilled dressmaker, her doorknocker hairstyle cascading down her back. Doorknocker hairstyles, characterized by their voluminous curls and intricate braids, were the epitome of fashionable women's hairdos during this time. The dressmaker, with a keen eye and steady hand, adjusts and takes the woman's measurements with great care and precision. The intricate process of measuring and fitting a new dress was a labor-intensive one, requiring both artistry and expertise. The dressmaking industry was a significant part of Germany's textile manufacturing sector during this period, with many fashion houses renowned for their high-quality garments and innovative designs. The woman's expression reveals a sense of anticipation and excitement as she prepares for a new addition to her wardrobe. The elegant surroundings of the fashion house, with its ornate furnishings and refined decor, further underscore the importance placed on fashion and personal appearance during this era. This photograph is a fascinating window into the world of German dressmaking during the Edwardian period, a time when the art of creating beautiful and intricately designed clothing was a source of great pride and pleasure for both the dressmakers and their clients.
