Jeweled Gown and Tiara, 1916

Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney) wearing a jeweled gown and tiara and holding a peacock feather fan. During the Victorian Age in the United States Tiaras were being seen on non-royal ladies of means. By the 1920s, the tiara and similar tiara headbands became popular in the united states. They were worn not only with formal ballroom gowns, but became popular with the Flappers and their parties. Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, or furniture. Fashion is a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. It is the prevailing styles in behavior and the newest creations of textile designers. Prior to the mid-19th century, most clothing was custom-made. It was handmade for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors. By the beginning of the 20th century, with the rise of new technologies such as the sewing machine, the development of the factory system of production, and the emergence of department stores, clothing had increasingly come to be mass-produced in standard sizes and sold at fixed prices. Photographed by Adolf Baron De Meyer, 1916.
