As of yesterday, it has been 100 years since the Titanic sank. I like to imagine all the elegant women sitting down for the last dinner in first class, decked out in their new Parisian finery. In my opinion, the style of the Edwardian era was the most dazzlingly beautiful of all time. Feast your eyes on this gallery of exquisite opulence.

| This is the only real color photo I've ever seen from this era. Really brings it to life, doesn't it? Color makes it so much easier to comprehend as a real time and place, rather than some faraway sepia-toned universe. | | | |
