Edwardian Accessories - Gloves, Hair Combs, Wigs

Add the final touches to your turn of the century costume with a few Edwardian accessories. Edwardian gloves were a must to wear at all times (except eating or using the restroom.) Lace or mesh gloves are the most comfortable for summer. Leather or fabric gloves that compliment a dress are best for cool weather. An alternative to an Edwardian hat are hair accessories such as a hair comb, ribbon headband, or sprinkling of flowers. If you lack long hair a pre- styled Edwardian wig is essential, such as the Gibson Girl wig.

Other accessories included a simple handbag or purse, romantic jewelry, a lace fan, shoe spats, wide belt, white apron, hat pin, pocket watch, parasol or ladies walking cane.
