My mother recently emailed me some photos of my Edwardian era ancestors and I just can't stop ogling at them!

The first photo has some great dresses. In fact, the dress second from the left (is it polka dots? floral?) is absolutely fantastic. I'd love to recreate it. I'm assuming this is right around 1918-1920 because the blouses are still deeply formal while there is some serious ankle peeking out.
This era is definitely my favorite in historical fashion; it just screams modernization, and the influence of practical-lifestyle creeping in from wartime is such a fascinating catalyst in fashion. Women had to look great, but they also had to be able to actually function in their clothes. What a novel idea!
What's your favorite historical fashion era?
I love to look at 1920s photos! The women look so beautiful!! But I absolutely love all the vintage fashion!
