Timeless Beauty of the Teens by Julie Allen Matthews - Elegant styles of the 1910s

Between the opulence of the Gilded Age and the exuberance of the Roaring Twenties, fashion of the 1910s softened and simplified. Hemlines rose and corsets relaxed. Influenced early in the decade by Neoclassicism and Orientalism, then by World War I in its later years, the styles were eclectic and transitional. Julie Allen Matthews illustrates fashions from every year of the teens, along with many mix-and-match pieces to create your own looks. Nearly 50 authentic fashion items—dresses, blouses and hats—are included to dress a lovely lady.
