Summary

Description
English: Fashionable Ladies of the Day

Large hats and long dresses were all the fashion for women in the 1900s. Ankles were rarely seen. During the War limits on materials, the more sombre mood, and increasing numbers of women working led to more practical, less frilly and flamboyant clothing.

Queensland Museum holds over 1000 of Bert Roberts' plate glass negatives and prints from the era.
