The ideal woman in the years before WWI was tall, with a slender waist but full hips and bosom, wavy hair, and who was fashionable and confident. Dresses had flowing lines, a train and a high waist. Women wore huge hats trimmed with large beautiful feathers and wide ribbons. Art Nouveau style had a significant impact on fashion, with its flowing lines, organic motifs, and delicate embellishments.
