Magazine’s Article

This magazine is presenting the dresses and accessories Of British. In 1900 century,

British ruled Indian between 1900-1947 which India achieved independence. Some people

didn’t know about how British dressed up in 1900 century. Are they dressed up like Indian or

British.

So, I made this magazine to show how British dressed up in that time. More than dresses

of ladies, gentlemen. I also have accessories for ladies too. Of course there are some that seems

like for Indian people and some are like British, and as British lived in Indian. Some will dresses

or accessories as Indian or some still dress up like British, and sure there are some Indian that

dressed up like British as well.
