This is a brilliant site, I should start with the drawings on this page and go from there.

Costume Silhouettes Free Line Drawings 1910-1913

1912 was an interesting era when clothes were starting to break away from the restrictions of the Edwardian corset and move to something looser and easier which eventually ended up in the twenties free for all flapper era.

My favourite designer of this period is Paul Poiret, who really rewrote the rules.

Good luck!

Thought you might have wanted something for an evening do...

Type in Edwardian teacher to Google images, lots of pics there.

All you need is a long skirt, high collar blouse tucked in with belt, and a tie.

This is my grandmother on her wedding day at the turn of the century.
She wasn't a teacher but her dad was.

Susie's right.

Female clothing, for someone such as a schoolmistress, is gradually becoming less structured by the pre-war years, though the overall look is still chaste, and drab in colour.

You'd probably still be wearing button-through boots, and ankles would still best be covered, if you want to keep your job.

Actually, surprised I don't have a blouse similar .. have worn that sort of outfit in one or two productions ... must have been hired.

Love to see a 'photo, Mumtotwo once you have sorted it.

The hairdo helps as well if you can manage it.
