Fashion history

Last week's photo of the day theme was evening wear. With prom season right around the corner and so many winter balls and galas taking place, it is the perfect time to look at the most glamorous of all vintage evening gowns and dresses. We can't forget the gentlemen, too, who always look so fine

More than 100 years ago, Victorian corsets were practically required for women - to emphasize certain parts of the body, and to minimize others. Here's a look back to what ladies back then were wearing!

The 1900s, known as both the Edwardian era and La Belle Époque was a beautiful era for dresses. The invention of the "health corset," later called the S-blend corset, altered the shape of women's 1900s dresses from flat and vertical to curvy. The bust was thrust forward, the back curved inward, and the hips rounded.

When World War One ended in 1918, people were obviously happy. So happy in fact that their collective euphoria ultimately influenced the fashion of the time. The era came to be defined by the emergence of vintage fashion, and as you can see from these pictures, it still looks awesome over 90 years later.
