Notice how high wasted the gowns are? This was known as the empire waist style. This style always reminds me of the regency era as the ladies gowns also had this high empire wasted gowns. This style is flattering to every figure and the hobble skirt was tight fitting against the body, sometimes you could not walk right. The gowns also adopted from mens suit style fashions as they began to work in men's professions. Sports also contributed to womens fashions. They became lighter, practical, and more comfortable to wear. Also notice the parasol the lady is carrying? They help a lady from getting a tan, and they often matched the color or pattern of the ladies gowns. The latest styles came from Paris. |
