I have had the last dinner on the Titanic - at the Durango Heritage Celebration last October - and it is truly an elegant and fabulous meal. (Sigh) Yet one more reason to yearn to spend a weekend at the fabulous Grand Hotel. So let's all break out our best Edwardian dinner gowns (better yet - check out the newest offerings on the Recollections site) and make a reservation right away! Oh yes!

You have certainly done your homework! I agree that we can expand the dates a bit. I'm certain that ladies didn't burn their wardrobes upon Victoria's death, but probably continued to wear their bustled dresses and moved to the new Edwardian styles gradually, just as we do today. I suspect the younger folks embraced the new styles more quickly than their parents. Best regards, Sue Hello Dolly,

Queen Victoria's coronation was held on June 28TH 1838 when she was only 19 years old. Her reign ended on January 22ND 1901 when she passed away at Osbourne House ,Isle of Wight.
