EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Edwardian era with this stunning image of women at the races in 1912. The bright and vibrant orange tunic dress worn by the fashionable racegoers is a true representation of the opulence and elegance of the era. The narrow hobble skirt, a popular style of the time, accentuates the graceful curves of the wearer. The sleeves, adorned with volans, add a touch of drama and movement to the outfit. The V-neck bodice, cinched at the waist, flatters the figure and highlights the feminine silhouette. The pannier or polonaise over-skirt adds volume and fullness to the dress, creating an elegant and flowing effect. The soft brimless hat, adorned with a plume and aigrette, completes the look with a touch of sophistication and glamour. The racegoers are seen holding binoculars and parasols, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The Edwardian era was known for its love of extravagant hats, and this image showcases a range of unique and intricately designed headpieces. The women are dressed to impress, with their best fashion forward and ready to enjoy a day at the races. The racecourse, filled with excitement and anticipation, is the perfect backdrop for this timeless fashion moment. This photograph is a must-have for any collection of Edwardian era fashion or for those with an appreciation for the history of women's fashion.
