Each gown is further embellished with small paste diamond buttons, adding an air of opulence and luxury. The women in this photograph exude an air of refinement and grace, their long, white gloves and fans adding to their allure.

This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the early 1900s, a period of elegance and sophistication known as the Edwardian era.
