"Mesdames Nos Aïeules: dix siècles d'élégances" by Albert Robida is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the evolution of women's fashion over a millennium, tracing styles from ancient times to the contemporary scene of Robida's day. Through a blend of prose and illustrations, it reflects upon societal changes and cultural influences that shaped these fashions, celebrating the beauty and complexity of women's attire throughout history. At the start of the work, readers are introduced to a poetic piece reflecting on the fleeting nature of fashion, with musings on styles long past and the constant evolution of women's clothing. The narrative then delves into a discussion of the connections between fashion and architecture, suggesting that both are interrelated artistic expressions of their respective eras. Robida highlights the cyclical nature of fashion, indicating that past styles influence contemporary trends, as he prepares to take the reader on a detailed exploration of historical garments, their societal ramifications, and the elegant "grâce féminine" that underlies this ever-changing tapestry of women's fashion.
