EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of a young bride on her wedding day in the Roaring Twenties. The young lady, dressed in an elegant silk outfit, exudes a sense of timeless beauty and grace as she sits with a bouquet of vibrant flowers in hand. The rich texture and sheen of the silk fabric, along with the delicate floral arrangement, add to the overall allure of the scene. The photograph, published in a popular 1921 issue of The Delineator magazine, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and sophistication of silk garments. At the time, silk was considered a luxury item, synonymous with elegance and refinement. The Real Silk Hosiery Mills of Indianapolis, a leading manufacturer of high-quality silk hosiery during the era, likely commissioned this advertisement to highlight the versatility and desirability of their silk products. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, was a time of great cultural and social change. Women's fashion underwent significant transformations, with silk becoming a popular choice for both day and evening wear. This advertisement not only showcases the beauty and elegance of silk but also the changing role of women in society, who embraced their newfound freedom and self-expression through their clothing choices. The photograph, now part of the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, remains a captivating reminder of the enduring allure of silk and the spirit of the Roaring Twenties.
