EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this elegant advertisement for John Barker & Co's exquisite lace blouses, as featured in the Illustrated London News in 1912. Three fashionable women gracefully pose in these timeless garments, each donning an ivory blouse adorned with intricate black ribbon velvet detailing down the front and delicate scallop edging. The high necks of these blouses showcase alternating rows of Valenciennes lace throughout the netting, adding an air of sophistication and refinement. The first woman wears a simple yet stunning Guipure lace blouse, with a Valenciennes lace yoke and cuffs lined in netting. The second woman's blouse boasts similar detailing, but with a playful twist of a slightly lower neckline, adding a touch of modernity to the classic design. The third woman's blouse features a higher neckline and full sleeves, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a more modest yet equally beautiful option. These blouses were not only fashionable but also high-quality, as evidenced by the meticulous detailing and exquisite craftsmanship. The prices listed in the advertisement reflect the value and exclusivity of these garments, making them a desirable addition to any Edwardian woman's wardrobe. This advertisement is a captivating glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 20th century, showcasing the timeless beauty and elegance of lace blouses that continue to captivate us today.
