"Good Form: Dress and Decorum for the Woman of Fashion,

and daily lives at the turn of the 20th century. Consider the dresses
of one family’s wardrobe during this transition from the formalities
of Victorian life to the emerging liberties of the Edwardian woman.
Juxtaposing the garments with undressed forms will expose the changing
identity of a woman of fashion.
