Student Blogging Challenge

Welcome to my student blogging challenge post! Today I’m going to be talking a little bit about the Edwardian Fashion era. I decided to write about this because I absolutely adore historical fashion. The Edwardian era lasted from 1901 to 1910 and is one of my favourite eras fashion wise. 

Ladies streetwear consisted of long walking skirts and usually frilly blouses. In the colder weather they would wear jackets with high necks and fitted silhouettes. Most ladies shoes had small heels. Here are some photos of what they would typically wear for informal occasions:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For evening and formal wear, women would wear dresses like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see certain aspects of Edwardian fashion reflected in modern clothes. This is a Youtube video make by Berenadette Banners on making a modernized version of an Edwardian walking skirt.
