EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Edwardian Elegance on Ice: A 1905 Skating Costume" This photograph showcases an Edwardian woman gracefully gliding on the ice, her elegant attire embodying the refined fashion sensibilities of the early 1900s. The woman's outfit consists of a long, black skating costume made from a heavy cloth material, subtly ornamented with velvet pattés in a muted Vieux rose shade and oxydised buttons. The unexpected addition of a touch of biscuit cloth at the cuffs adds a delightful contrast, while the little embroidered lawn chemisette peeks out from beneath the jacket, adding a feminine touch. The woman's head is adorned with a stylish felt hat, trimmed with a fancy rose-plaid ribbon and an effective feather mount. A fur muff, wrapped around her arms, provides both warmth and a touch of luxury. Long, white gloves cover her hands, and a stylish stole draped around her neck completes the ensemble. The high neckline of the chemisette and the long, flowing skirt of the costume are characteristic of the Edwardian era, which emphasized modesty and grace. The woman's posture and the serene expression on her face convey a sense of poise and sophistication, making this photograph a beautiful representation of fashion during the early 1900s. This photograph, taken in 1905, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and refinement of Edwardian fashion and the grace and beauty of women during this time period. Whether admired for its historical significance or simply for its timeless beauty, this image is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion history or the Edwardian era.
