EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of wartime comfort and elegance as a young woman dons a pair of pink crepe-de-Chine pyjamas during the First World War era. Dated back to 1915, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private moments of women's lives amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Great War. The First World War brought about significant changes in the way women lived, worked, and dressed. As men left for the battlefields, women took on new roles in factories, offices, and even in the military. Yet, despite their newfound independence and responsibilities, they still craved moments of relaxation and comfort in their personal lives. Pyjamas, once considered a luxurious and exotic item, became increasingly popular during this time as a practical and comfortable alternative to nightgowns. Made of lightweight and breathable crepe-de-Chine fabric, these pyjamas allowed women to sleep soundly and feel at ease in their homes. The young lady in this photograph exudes a sense of tranquility as she lounges in her pink pyjamas, her delicate features softened by the warm glow of the lamp. The muted colors and simple lines of her nightwear reflect the understated yet sophisticated fashion trends of the time. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of women during the First World War, as they navigated the challenges of their daily lives with grace and style.
