Overview

"""The subject of woman, that is to say, the modern woman, with her varying instincts, pursuits, and peculiarities alone would fill many large volumes. I feel bound, therefore, to confine myself to the discussion of one particular side of her nature, one for which personally I have most sympathy, and one which perhaps can best be described by the epithet 'womanly.'"" Originally published in 1902, this extremely rare volume offers a remarkable snapshot of the fashionable Edwardian woman. The author - fashion editor for The Lady's Realm, a monthly London magazine for more ""enlightened"" readers - offers rich counsel on how to cultivate charm and social standing through the subtle art of dress. Illustrated fashion tips feature a wide range of advice on corsets, petticoats, hats, jewellery, footwear, accessories, and more, with chapters on ""The All-Important Question of Colour,"" ""Hats Sublime and Ridiculous,"" ""The Revival of Fashions of the Past,"" and ""The Aggressiveness of the Smart Woman."" A selection of vintage advertisements for London-area fashion shops is also included. AUTHOR: In the early 1900s, Mrs. Eric Pritchard was a frequent contributor to publications such as The Lady and Lady's Realm, in which she identified new trends in London and Paris fashions."
