EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Girl Shows a Leg" and dated 1908, showcases the playful and flirtatious nature of fashion during the Edwardian era. The young woman in the photograph, dressed in the height of fashion for the time, confidently lifts her ample skirts and petticoats to check her stockings. Her pose, with one hand on her hip and the other hand holding up her skirt, exudes a saucy and risqué air that was not uncommon during this period. The intricate details of her costume and accessories are a testament to the meticulous attention given to personal appearance during the Edwardian era. Her blouse features a high neckline and long sleeves, while her corseted waist accentuates her hourglass figure. The full, voluminous skirt is adorned with layers of petticoats, creating a lush, billowing effect. Her hat, adorned with a large, feathered plume, completes the ensemble. Despite the seemingly provocative nature of her pose, the young woman's stockings are the true focus of the photograph. Stockings were a crucial component of women's fashion during the Edwardian era, and checking them for runs or tears was an essential part of daily routine. The stockings themselves were often made of silk or wool, and were held up by garters or suspenders. The stocking tops, which were often visible above the skirt, were adorned with lace or other decorative elements. Overall, this photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era, with its focus on fashion, beauty, and the art of self-presentation. The young woman's bold and playful pose adds a touch of sauciness to the image, making it a delightful and intriguing glimpse into the past.
