About MeThis dress dates from nearer the end of the Edwardian period and shows a shift in fashion influenced by designers such as Paul Poiret, who was influenced by the Empire Revival that was sweeping Europe at the time. This dress shows that the figure is less curvy, with both the waist and hemline rising. The emphasis is now on layers and giving the appearance of the figure being draped.
