My Latest Obsession- 1910s Fashion!

Here's some eye-candy:

Like this gorgeous yellow and pink number. I couldn't find a date for this particular dress, but the more natural waistline, draping bodice, and long, columnar skirt suggest 1912-1914.

This pink dress was beach fashion by the French designers Rivain and Cie and dates to around 1910.

I'm a little in love with this embroidered and beaded evening or dinner gown. This photo appeared in La Mode, a French magazine in the year 1910.

This robe du soir, or evening dress, was designed by Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix, an important French designer. This dress dates back to 1913, and was most likely taken in Paris. I might just have to make a whole post dedicated to her designs!

I love everything about this robe du soir from 1910. Due to Paris being the Fashion Capital of the World in the years leading up to World War II, it's likely this dress comes from one of Paris' many fashion houses and first appeared in a les modes magazine.

Near the end of the decade, the hemlines rose, as shown here in a summer ensemble worn by Irene Castle dating either 1916 or 1917.

Here's another end of the decade outfit; a two piece grey twill suit from 1917. Looks like something that wouldn't be entirely out of place in today's society!

This post will definitely get a part two eventually- after all, there's so much beauty from this time period I almost get overwhelmed just looking at the pictures!
