EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silk dress, a stunning representation of fashion in 1915, embodies the elegance and opulence of the era, despite the backdrop of the ongoing First World War. The full A-line skirt, a defining feature of the time, flows gracefully from the high waistline, accentuating the feminine silhouette. The bustle, an extravagant addition, is edged with luxurious fur, adding a touch of decadence and warmth. The dress is further adorned with an excelsior collar, a high neckline that frames the face and adds a sense of sophistication and refinement. The fashionable hat, worn with the dress, is a flamboyant accessory that complements the overall look. Its unique shape and ornate details add a sense of drama and flair, making this outfit a true statement of style and status. The combination of the silk fabric, intricate details, and bold design elements, all characteristic of the mode of the time, make this dress a must-see piece of fashion history. The year was 1915, a time of great change and uncertainty, yet fashion continued to thrive, providing a sense of normalcy and beauty amidst the chaos of the war. This silk dress, with its bustle, fur, and excelsior collar, is a testament to the enduring power of fashion and its ability to reflect the spirit of the times.
