Edwardian street Style

Edwardian fashion of the Late 1890s–1914

Edwardian fashion refers to the clothing that was in style between the late 1890s and 1914 or the beginning of the Great War (World War I). Also called La Belle Epoque (the Beautiful Era), and the Gilded Age, this was a time when women's fashions took on a new opulence and extravagance, inspired by the hedonistic lifestyle of Britain's King Edward VII.

The design trends of the Edwardian era revolved around the S curve when corsets created an S-shaped female silhouette, a change from the Victorian hourglass figure.

The S bend corset forced the hips back and bust forward. The ideal female figure was a mature woman with a pigeon shaped monobosom.

This is sooooooooooo cute ❤

1910 White Cotton Batiste Lacy Camibloomers with Ribbons and Bows!

A lot of people assume that these were for the "working ladies" of the day.... but as romantic a notion as that may be.... these were just quite practical for all. Times HAVE changed.
