EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant Garden Party of 1911, as depicted in this stunning photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library. The women in this image don their finest frocks for an afternoon of gossip and delight in the sun-drenched garden. At the heart of this fashionable gathering, a woman in a pelisse-style coat with a Directoire collar and a large, ornate hat adorned with an osprey and ostrich plume, engages in animated conversation with her companions. The pelisse, a versatile outer garment popular during the Edwardian era, is characterized by its long, waist-length design and full sleeves, perfect for the unpredictable English weather. The other women in the photograph also display the fashion trends of the time, wearing high-waisted gowns with narrow, hobble skirts. These skirts, which narrowed at the ankles, restricted movement, adding an air of formality and elegance to the occasion. Over-skirts with a central split added a touch of playfulness and practicality to the otherwise rigid style. The large hats, a staple accessory for any well-dressed woman during this era, were often adorned with exotic and elaborate decorations, such as feathers, flowers, and even live birds. In this image, the women's hats are a testament to their flair for the dramatic and their love for the latest fashion trends. As the women sip their tea and enjoy the beautiful garden, they embody the essence of the Edwardian era, a time of opulence, elegance, and social gatherings. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, social customs, and history of a bygone era.
