Edwardian Fashion Photos from 1913 and an Ivory Soap Advertisement

Edwardian Fashion Photos from 1913 and an Ivory Soap Advertisement
This entry is part 12 of 14 in the series The Modern Priscilla - July 1913

Isn’t this Ivory Soap ad a classic? “Yes, it will wash if you use Ivory Soap and a little care… Ivory Soap 99.44% pure”.

Following that advertisement is a page of photographs illustrating and describing fashionable embroidered frocks for the summer season of 1913. I made a few scans, to make sure that I got all the wording and details! I love the elaborate gowns of eyelet and French embroidery of the Edwardian era (and a tip from the this page: “We all know that large eyelets are more neatly made if carefully run twice before cutting…”).
