Whimsical Wednesday


Inspired by a post from my fellow blogger Jac over at Root and Flower about the British TV drama Downton Abbey. I started watching the show. This week's Whimsical Wednesday is about early 1900s fashion. 


1)Women's fashion magazine print:



2)


3) Lady's Hats

They were extremely grand, I don't know if I could have keep my head up in one of these.

4)Same era but smaller hat


5) A shot from the Downton Abbey show.



5) McCall's 1912

6) Smart 1912 Fashions


7) 1910 Autochrome of School children



I also found this awesome site: http://www.vintage123.com/ there was a lot of pictures and history.
