Fine Feathers in Wartime: Dress Designers Attempt to Counter the Practical Move of Wearing Shorter, Fuller Skirts with Impractical Styles of Previous Centuries The First World War brought about significant changes in women's fashion, with the practicality of shorter, fuller skirts becoming the norm as women took on new roles in factories and offices. However, some designers in the 1910s sought to counter this trend by looking to the past for inspiration, reviving the ornate and impractical styles of the 18th century. This image from Mary Evans Picture Library, taken in 1916, showcases a woman adorned in an extravagant 18th-century-inspired dress. The voluminous skirt, adorned with layers of flounces and intricate embroidery, is reminiscent of the elaborate styles worn during the Rococo period. The dress is further embellished with a cascade of feathers, resembling a peacock's plumage, and a birdcage veil, adding to the overall opulence of the ensemble. Despite the impracticality of such styles in the context of wartime, designers continued to employ these ornate and decorative elements in their creations. The woman in the photograph exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, seemingly unfazed by the practical realities of the world around her. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of historical styles and the role they continue to play in shaping contemporary fashion. The 18th century, with its emphasis on ornate decoration and grandeur, remained a source of inspiration for designers even during the most tumultuous of times. The woman in the photograph, with her fine feathers and birdcage veil, embodies the spirit of defiance and rebellion against the practicality of the age, offering a glimpse into the rich history of fashion and its ability to transport us to another time and place.
