1910 Scarf Ad
Here's a lovely 1910 scarf ad from Every Woman's Magazine, featuring a fringed silk scarf, "the height of fashion." A wonderful accessory to make a comeback--scarves are so versatile!
Ca. 1910 Photo of a Young Woman in a Suit
I just love this circa 1910 photo of a young woman in a suit with her new puppies. The mother dog is lying down, and the the little pups are nursing. The girl has a picnic basket at her feet, and you can make out an automobile with a crankshaft on the front in the background. Isn't that a great expression on the young lady's face? Love her hat, too. Note the hatpin stuck through the crown.
1910 Day Dresses from Catalog
Illustration of two girls in day dresses from a 1910 catalog in my collection. The one on the right is designed to look like it has a separate jacket, but it's part of the dress. The one on the left has a detachable "girdle" (sash).
Titanic Pattern Resources
So many people have asked me to recommend patterns which could be used for "Titanic" gowns, so I've gathered that info together and placed it on this page. A few of the patterns featured on here are not specifically copies of "Titanic" gowns, but they will work if you are willing to do some alterations or make some additions to them.
Original Photos of the Actual Titanic Costumes
Back in early 1998, the J. Peterman company bought dozens of original costumes from "Titanic." They created their own line of reproductions for purchase, but they also sold the originals to private collectors around the world. I am tickled pink to be able to share the pictures on this page, courtesy of the collectors who bought the original "jump" dress and pink "sinking" coat from Peterman!
