EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning vintage photograph showcases a beautiful dinner dress from the year 1913, created by the renowned French fashion designer, Paul Poiret's house of Doucet. The dress, a sprigged print robe, is a masterpiece of classical drapery and historical inspiration. The V-neck bodice features a fill-in design, while the dolman sleeves add a unique and elegant touch. The tunic is draped from a high waist, creating an elegant silhouette, and the trained tango-style skirt adds a playful and dynamic element. The dress is reminiscent of both Edwardian and Grecian styles, with its columns of drapery and the use of classical motifs in the sprigged print. The high neckline and waistline are characteristic of the Edwardian era, while the tunic and trained skirt are reminiscent of ancient Greek robes. The dress also features a tango-style skirt, which was popular in the early 1910s and was inspired by the Argentine dance craze that swept through Europe at the time. The bodice of the dress is adorned with intricate draping and fill-in details, adding a sense of luxury and sophistication. The skirt is trained, meaning it is gathered and held up by a fabric belt or cord, creating a graceful and elegant look. The overall effect of the dress is one of timeless beauty and elegance, making it a true treasure of fashion history. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and styles of over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of classical drapery and historical inspiration on fashion, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich history of fashion design.
