This stunning exotically patterned and brightly colored tunic dress, circa 1912, showcases the unique fashion trends of the Edwardian era. The dress features a narrow skirt that is accentuated by an over-skirt, which has been draped to form a polonaise. The tunic itself is pleated and includes a wrap-over corsage, adding an elegant and feminine touch. The dress is adorned with intricate, vibrant prints, showcasing the global influences that were popular during this time period. The use of exotic patterns was a reflection of the increasing globalization and the desire to explore new cultures. The woman wearing the dress completes the look with a soft hat, adorned with feathers and an aigrette. The addition of a pannier and a panier interior further emphasizes the hourglass silhouette that was in vogue during the Edwardian period. The interior of the dress reveals the intricate details of the construction, with boning and lacing that helped shape the body and create the desired figure. The dress is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating high-end fashion during this time. The exuberant use of color and pattern in this tunic dress reflects the spirit of the Edwardian era, a time of opulence and extravagance in fashion.
