Step back in time with this advertisement from the Illustrated London News, showcasing the latest fashion offerings from Debenham & Freebody in 1917. The ad features an array of elegant and stylish knitted coats, perfect for the transitional weather of the early 20th century. The first coat showcased is a woolen knitted coat, expertly crafted from alpaca yarn. Alpaca fiber was a luxury material at the time, prized for its softness and warmth. The coat's timeless design includes a belted waist, adding a touch of sophistication and definition to the silhouette. Another offering from Debenham & Freebody is an artificial silk knitted coat, suitable for both indoor and outdoor wear. The coat's striped pattern adds visual interest and a modern touch to the classic design. The crepe-de-chine jumper, with its loose and belted style, completes the ensemble, providing a versatile and comfortable addition to any wardrobe. Prices for these exquisite garments were not insignificant, with the alpaca coat priced at £3 15s 0d and the artificial silk coat at £2 10s 0d. These prices reflect the high quality and luxury of the materials used, making these garments a significant investment for women of the time. This advertisement offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 1910s, a time of change and innovation, particularly during the backdrop of World War I. The elegant and timeless designs featured in this advertisement continue to inspire fashion enthusiasts today, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion and clothing.
