EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1918, showcases the distinctive high-waisted frocks that marked the end of the decade. The silhouette of the women in this image reveals the evolution of women's fashion during this time. Skirts have become less full and more narrow at the hem, while waistlines remain high. The high-waisted design accentuates the slenderness of the figures and creates an elegant, hourglass shape. The women in this photograph are engrossed in lively conversation, their hats perched atop their heads adding to their refined appearance. The hats feature high crowns and narrow brims, providing a sophisticated look that complements the high-waisted frocks. The shoes, too, are a fashion statement in themselves, with high heels and bows adding an air of elegance and femininity. The backdrop of the photograph is set against a serene outdoor scene, with women holding canes and umbrellas, suggesting a leisurely afternoon spent gossiping and chatting with friends. The women's attire, with its high-waisted frocks and elegant accessories, exudes a sense of sophistication and refinement that was popular during the late 1910s. The year 1918 was a significant time in history, with World War I coming to an end and the Roaring Twenties on the horizon. This photograph captures the essence of the era, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and social norms of the time. The high-waisted frocks, with their timeless appeal, continue to inspire fashion enthusiasts to this day.
