During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras (roughly the late 1800s to early 1900s), Irish wedding dresses typically included long skirts, form-fitting bodices, and detailed lace, often incorporating floral or geometric motifs. White became a popular color thanks to Queen Victoria. By about 1910, Edwardian dress styles shifted towards a slimmer profile, with raised waistlines and elongated corsets. High necklines, sometimes resembling "dog collars," were fashionable, as were close-fitting sleeves, occasionally with a slight puff at the top. Fine details like embroidery, beadwork, lace, and rich materials were hallmarks of these gowns.
