Not me finding out about something called the war crinoline at 1AM, prompting a frantic google search, when I should be asleep, to figure out a) if this was real and b) WHERE exactly because the stuff I’ve read so far is vague

Either way I’m fascinated by this alleged fashionista of 1915/1916

#There are better and nicer renditions of this fashion on google images but this was the only one I could find on wikimedia commons #The Battle of the Somme was raging and mademoiselle is somehow wearing the New Look #Look I have seen prettier dress styles throughout history but this gets points for being unexpected #dresses #historical fashion #Also it's nice to have more inspo for shorter fuller skirts that aren't 1950s or the early Victorian Newhaven fishwives
