Historical Edwardian Styling

I have an extensive collection of Edwardian (1900-about 1910) antiques, as well as pieces that I have made, and often wear these to historical events or occasionally on an every basis because I like the time period so much. My goal is always to make the look as historically accurate as possible, though in some cases, and I will note these, I have taken a few historical liberties for the sake of aesthetic or because, at the time that I wore the outfit, I had not quite learned a specific styling technique (especially with regards to hair) or had not yet acquired a historically-accurate accessory.

This is a photographic overview of some of the looks I have created. I am available to hire for events or for artistic posing in New York City or surrounding areas, and you can contact me at fehlel (at) sage (dot) edu.

Early 1900s antique ensemble. First two photos are older photos of me and are not entirely accurate in the styling, but the bottom selfie is more recent and is historically accurate in accessorizing and hairstyle.

Antique early 1900s tea dress; historically-accurate styling except for the handbag, which is a 1920s antique. Photo taken by a friend.
