Afternoon Bandeau Beads Chiffon Chignon Directoire Embroidered Floating Girdle Gown Lilac Panel Riviera Terrace Waisted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning afternoons gown, dating back to 1911, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the Edwardian era. The high waisted Directoire or Empire line gown is made of lilac etamine and chiffon, delicately embroidered with gold and lilac wooden beads. The cordeliere girdle and floating back panel add an element of intrigue and allure to the design. The gown's Directoire or Empire line, characterized by its high waistline and full skirt, was a popular choice for formal afternoon events during this time. The cordeliere girdle, a type of belt worn above the waistline, was also a common accessory during this period, accentuating the waist and creating an hourglass figure. The chignon hairstyle and the elegant chignon seen in the model's updo complete the look of this exquisite gown. The terrace setting with its beautiful flowers and greenery adds to the romantic and timeless feel of the image. The use of gold and lilac beads adds a touch of luxury and opulence to the gown, making it a standout piece in any historical collection. The combination of the delicate etamine fabric and the bold embroidery creates a stunning contrast, highlighting the intricate details of the design. This photograph, taken in 1911, is a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance and refinement. The gown, with its high waisted Directoire line, cordeliere girdle, and floating back panel, is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of the Edwardian era.
