Downton Abbey
Like a good deal of Americans I have succumbed to the charms of Downton Abbey. So in honor of the show my first set of posts will focus on the 1910's. Now a bit from our friends at Wikipedia;
"Fashion in the years 1910–1919 is characterized by a rich and exotic opulence in the first half of the decade in contrast with the somber practicality of garments worn during the Great War. Men's trousers were worn cuffed to ankle-length and creased. Skirts rose from floor length to well above the ankle, women began to bob their hair, and the stage was set for the radical new fashions associated with the Jazz Age of the 1920s"
As promised some pictures
