I have these french magazines… La Mode Illustrée. This one is from December 1910, which describes “Hen” costumes for young girls. I thought it was fitting, with Halloween right around the corner. This is perhaps the most elegant “chicken” costume I’ve ever seen!
Now… if only my French were not so rusty, I might actually be able to read about it!
