Edwardian fashion

Gibson Girl era

Edwardian fashion refers to clothing styles from the reign of Britain's King Edward VII (1901–1910), characterized by elaborate, structured silhouettes.

For women: high collars, S-bend corsets creating an exaggerated posture, leg-of-mutton sleeves, and long trailing skirts.

For men: morning coats, high starched collars, and top hats.

The era marked the final flourishing of formal Victorian-influenced dress before World War I simplified Western clothing.

The costume designer captured every detail of Edwardian fashion, down to the lace inserts.
