EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases an Open Robe from the year 1908, a significant turning point in women's fashion. The S-bend silhouette, which had been popular since the late 1800s, was being replaced by a more straighter line. In this elegant ensemble, the flaring and swirling skirt, adorned with intricate embroidery and volan trim, flows gracefully around the wearer. The volan-trimmed sleeves, with their frilly and fussy design, add a touch of femininity and delicacy to the outfit. The open robe, with its simple yet ornate details, is a perfect representation of the transitional period between the frilly and fussy Edwardian era and the more streamlined styles that were to come. The model wears her hair swept up, adorned with plumes, adding an air of sophistication and glamour to the overall look. The open robe is completed with a hat, also featuring volan trim and lace, which adds a final touch of elegance to the ensemble. This beautiful photograph, taken in 1908, captures the essence of a bygone era and the changing trends in women's fashion. The open robe, with its timeless beauty and intricate details, remains an iconic piece of clothing from the early 20th century.
