Bathing Brimmed Broad Coatee Gathered Jessie Paddling Parasol Porter Scallop Skirt Sleeves Translucent

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1915, features a woman elegantly enjoying a day at the seaside. Dressed in a charming ensemble reminiscent of the 1830s, she dons a broad-brimmed Japanese parasol to shield herself from the sun's rays. The parasol, with its vibrant red hue and intricate design, adds a pop of color to the black-and-white image. The woman's hat, also in red, is adorned with a wide brim and a delicate ribbon, complementing her outfit perfectly. Her dress, designed by the renowned American fashion designer Jessie Porter, is a stunning example of early 20th-century fashion. The dress boasts a gathered skirt with a scallop hem, adding a feminine touch, while the translucent sleeves allow for a breeze to flow through. A green coatee completes the ensemble, providing both style and practicality. Despite the early 19th-century aesthetic, the woman's outfit is a testament to the fashion evolution of the time. The Great War, also known as World War I, was in full swing during this period, and fashion trends began to shift towards simpler, more practical designs. However, this woman's choice to wear a more ornate and elaborate outfit showcases the continued influence of the past on fashion during this transitional era. The woman is seen paddling in the water, her parasol propped up on the shore. The image captures a moment of relaxation and enjoyment amidst the tumultuous world events of the time. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring allure of fashion history and the timeless appeal of a day at the seaside.
