I couldn’t justify making a whole new outfit for our Edwardian fossil hunting day because I’ve made so many 1910s thing this year. But I decided I could spruce up some of the things I already have, and give them a new life.
Our historical weekend for 2021 is come and gone. This year we planned an exciting activity: fossil hunting, 1910s style! We put on our corsets, practical shoes, packed a lunch, and grabbed our picks and buckets…
This week’s dress is an elegant evening ensemble, suitable for a reception or dinner. It’s also an amazing example of how quickly fashion changed in one generation: from the heavy layers of the 1880s, to a light, open frock which afforded glimpses of the legs up to the calves.
