Best link EVER, you guys! Edwardian Street Fashion: candid photos, over one hundred years old, of women on the streets of London and Paris; a rare chance to see clothes of the period as-worn rather than in fashion plates.

(Not that I don't love Victorian and Edwardian fashion plates.)

I'm particularly fond of the London cyclist with the gigantic hat. Also the determined-looking girl at the top of the page, wearing a white skirt and hat like an extra-wide boater. Look at the set of her mouth and her clenched hands: doesn't she look like she ought to be the heroine of something?
