Step into the enchanting world of 1899 fashion, where summer frocks by Doeuillet dazzle with their elegance, inspired by the red parasols of the same era. Wedding dresses boasted intricate details, like those found in Greenhouse Fashions. Ancient influences, such as the bowl from 12th-9th century BC Mexico, added a touch of Mesoamerican mystery. Grey and lace dresses were a popular resort and casino choice, while pin-ups donned blossoms for a playful touch. Even the humble farmworker's smock held a certain charm, reflecting the female type of Halifax in 1870.
