Edwardian Fashion - Daniel Milford-Cottam

Fashion in the Edwardian period underwent some quite revolutionary changes.The delicately coloured, flower-and-lace-trimmed trailing gowns and elaborate hairstyles worn by tightly corseted fashionable ladies in the early years of Edward VII’s reign would transform into the boldly coloured, dramatically stylized Eastern-inspired kimono wraps, slender hobble skirts, ankle-skimming tunic dresses and turbans of 1914 on the eve of the First World War.This book presents the story of women’s and men’s dress through this exciting period.
