Edwardian fashion in the photo of the 1900s

At the beginning of the XX century, Victorian fashion in great Britain was replaced by Edwardian style. Women finally got rid of heavy outfits, silhouettes became more subtle, the number of jewelry decreased. Everything now began to gravitate towards simplicity. Dark colors and shades were replaced by bright colors and pastels. The clothes emphasized a thin waist and a voluminous bust - corsets helped in this. Bows and flowers were widely used as decoration, and lace became popular. The sleeves were puffy and the blouses had a high collar. These photos are the best way to tell you what English women looked like at the beginning of the last century.
