The style of dresses in the 1900's consisted of what we now call "mermaid" style dresses. These dresses were fitting at the waist and fullness was after the knee. I like this style during this time because it really shows the shape of the woman's body. Satin, Velvet, Lace, and Silk were the popular fabrics that the dresses were made of so it was easier to drape.
