How to Dress Edwardian Style: Historically Accurate Look from Head to Toe! The Gibson Girl paved the way for the "New Women's Look" a 2 piece style constructed to help meet the practicalities of a growing class of working women, during a period of great technological advances & societal changes occurring from modernization. The Shirt-waist Suit, both formal and informal versions, permeated throughout the whole of the Edwardian Era and transformed fashion globally. Recreate the look by following my historical analysis of the Shirt-waist & Skirts Suits of the Edwardian Fashion Era.
