A Frivolous Moment in Wartime: A Lady's New Dress Fitting, 1916 This delightful cartoon captures the essence of an extravagant moment in the midst of the tumultuous events of World War I. The image shows a woman, adorned in an ornate, bell-shaped gown, having a dress fitting assisted by her maids. The exaggerated skirt, reminiscent of the styles popular in the 1830s, is profusely ornamented with accordion pleated flounces and rosettes, adding to the overall frivolous and frilly appearance. Despite the backdrop of the ongoing war, which had brought about significant changes in societal norms and expectations, this scene portrays a moment of levity and indulgence. The lady, perhaps a maid or mistress, takes a break from the harsh realities of the world to enjoy the simple pleasure of trying on a new dress. Her expression is one of satisfaction and excitement, as she adjusts the hat to complete her ensemble. This cartoon, dated 1916, offers a glimpse into the contrasting worlds of war and domesticity during the First Great War. It serves as a reminder that even in the most challenging of times, people found moments of joy and beauty in their everyday lives.
