Label TextBy the 1900s, the sometimes-extreme silhouettes of the previous century's fashions were declining in popularity. This outfit is an example of the less severe proportions becoming more popular during the Edwardian period. The jacket has loose sleeves, a lower neckline, and the waist is not as sharply defined. In addition, details like patterns, accessories, and embellishments like the cording on this jacket were becoming more common.
