For information specific to this late Edwardian era, you
may find it useful to read my page
Orientalism in Dress and the general page on La Belle
Époque 1895-1914 Fashion Note too, the use of fur
shown on the hems, sleeve hemlines of both the evening dresses and the day
clothes illustrated above. They show how lavish and sumptuous
clothes had become for those with enough money to afford high fashion
designer models such as these. Ladies who sailed the Titanic in 1912
may well have worn gowns based on similar designs.
These clothes are a perfect example of the fashion of the lost golden age.
They were at the end of an era of an elaborate fashion etiquette that
places the wealthy, late Edwardian woman in a different world to the rest
of the 20th century. By 1913 hemlines began their slow rise showing
a little of the ankle. Extravagance in dress was soon frowned upon
as utilitarian clothing was enforced on many during the 1914-18 Great War
years.
