I've studied costume drawings and fashion plates of the fashion history period 1910 and 1913. Then I have drawn out these simple line drawings and finally enhanced aspects such as fur trims, and patterns with computer software. The drawings on this page show some of the silhouette body shape outline between 1910 and 1913 which is loosely used as a basis for Titanic style reproduction pieces. The Titanic sank April 15 1912, but many of the line drawings here would be suitable for purposes of costuming. Each thumbnail enlarges to produce an A4 print and is suitable for colouring in and producing timeline scenes, collage foundation guides or guidelines for amateur dramatics.
Like many costume enthusiasts, on occasions a basic simple line image of a specific year in fashion history enable me to complete a project. These images should give you a clear understanding of the changing lines and variety of fashion silhouettes within a few years. More may be added later. On this page look out for wide embellished hats, hems shortening and leaner narrower skirts and the late Edwardian Directoire empire style bodice.
