EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1938, we find an elegant and graceful court gown designed by the renowned fashion designer Isobel. The gown, which was created for presentation at Her Majesty's court, exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The gown features a streamlined silhouette, with a bias cut that accentuates the natural curves of the wearer's figure. The fabric itself is rich and luxurious, with a subtle sheen that catches the light and adds to the overall allure of the piece. The gown also boasts a sweeping train, adding to the grandeur and drama of the design. The headdress of the gown is equally impressive, with three traditional feathers delicately placed in the wearer's hair. These feathers were once a requirement for ladies attending court, but by 1938, the Prince of Wales feathers were being phased out. In their place, more modern and fashionable headdresses began to emerge. To complete the look, the model holds an ostrich fan, a classic accessory that was popular among debutantes and other ladies of the time. The fan not only served as a practical way to keep cool in the warm courtroom, but it also added an elegant and feminine touch to the overall ensemble. This beautiful court gown is a prime example of the fashion trends of the 1930s, with its bias cut, streamlined silhouette, and elegant headdress. It is a testament to the timeless beauty and grace of this era, and a reminder of the elegance and sophistication that defined the world of high fashion during this period.
