1. Title: A Chic and Elegant Edwardian Swimming Attire: A Woman in a Black Bathing Dress with White Embroidery (1906) 2.. This photograph captures the essence of early 20th-century fashion as it showcases a woman donning an exquisite bathing dress from the year 1906. The dress, crafted from alpaca fabric, boasts a timeless allure that seamlessly blends elegance and practicality. The black bathing dress is adorned with intricate white embroidery, adding a touch of sophistication and refinement. The high collar, a hallmark of Edwardian fashion, frames the woman's face, while the long sleeves and high neckline offer modest coverage. The dress also features a cloak, which could be worn to provide additional warmth or to protect the wearer from the sun. The embroidered applications on the dress add a delicate and ornate touch, making it a standout piece for any summer outing. The woman's posture and expression exude confidence and grace, further emphasizing the beauty and allure of this Edwardian swim dress. The year 1906 marked a significant shift in swimwear trends, as more women began to embrace the idea of swimming as a leisure activity. This bathing dress represents the transition from heavy, restrictive garments to lighter, more functional swimsuits. The alpaca fabric, while not the most practical choice for swimming, was a popular option for early 1900s bathing attire due to its warmth and durability. This photograph serves as a captivating reminder of the evolution of swimwear and the enduring allure of fashion from the Edwardian era.
