RecordDress (2 of 2)made in Edinburgh
Dress (2 of 2)This woman's silk dress was made in 1902 by Charles Jenner & Company of Edinburgh. It consists of a separate bodice, skirt and sash. The picture shows the small train at the back of the dress. From around 1892 to 1907, ground-length skirts fell gracefully, with flowing lines. The smooth front of the dresses was achieved by the insertion of gores (tapering pieces of cloth) in the back, just about at the level of the top of the thighs, thus creating a small graceful train. This style was an updated version of the late 1820s and 1830s skirt and was a fitting end to the wearing of ground-length skirts.
