Hi! Thank you for opening the treasure chest on Turn Of The Century Fashion. I'm still ship wrecked on one of the 30,000 Islands near Midland, Ontario, Canada. The wreck contained lots of historical info of Midland's past and the clues to get me off the island. Click on any of these photos to find out about what people wore back then.

Women church members grouped in front of one of Midland's churches in 1902. Long slim skirts, fancy blouses, waist length coats and hats were the fashion style for the early century woman. Men's and women's fashion has gone through numerous changes. Click on this photo to see more photos of men's and women's fashion styles.

In order for these women to achieve such fashionable looks, they wore layers of undergarments. Many fashion styles included their own array of undergarments and accessories. Some of these undergarments caused women to faint. Click on this photo to find more info.
