Vintage Covers: Vogue March 15, 1911, Elegant Spring Attire
Vogue March 15, 1911: The Newest Spring Materials and Trimmings . . . which herald the arrival of the season.
With fresh, bright colours and light, airy fabrics, the arrival of Spring is welcomed with this lovely mint chiffon and lace ensemble. Softly draped fabrics are an elegant choice for these warm Spring days, but for the still-cool evenings a floral patterned shawl is the perfect addition. A single gold bracelet lends a touch of exoticism to this simple, yet graceful, silhouette.
Inspiration for this fashion recreation comes from this cover of Vogue from 1911. I’ve been wanting to do a more “historical” Vogue cover recreation for a while now, and this dress I bought a few years ago on a whim (and have only worn once as a costume!) was perfect to recreate this lovely Edwardian era magazine cover.

I’m quickly becoming a bit of a fan girl of yours – I love everything about this! The way you’ve swapped the V for the A in your blog title is a super cute touch. But I really love that you have done a version of an illustrated cover, not just stuck to photographic ones. It’s a really beautiful image and fun project.

Thanks Christina! It was a different style and was fun to break out of the vintage mold and try something from a different earlier era.
