Step into Elegance: Swan & Edgar's Smart Tunic Frocks of 1909 This advertisement from 1909 showcases the timeless allure of Swan & Edgar's Smart Tunic Frocks, crafted from the most fashionable fabric of the era - shantung tussore silk. The image features two stylish women, their confident postures exuding an air of sophistication and grace. The first woman dons a floral-patterned tunic frock, the delicate piping at the bodice adding a refined touch to her ensemble. Her hat, adorned with plumes, completes her elegant look. The second woman wears a solid-colored tunic frock, its narrow waist accentuating her figure. Both women exhibit the high neckline and slim silhouette that defined the Edwardian fashion of the time. Swan & Edgar's Smart Tunic Frocks were not only fashionable but also affordable, with prices starting at an impressive shilling and sixpence. This advertisement serves as a testament to the company's commitment to providing stylish and affordable clothing for women in the early 1900s. The shantung tussore silk, with its distinctive texture and sheen, was a popular choice for fashionable women seeking to make a statement. Its luxurious feel and rich appearance elevated any outfit, making these smart tunic frocks a must-have in every wardrobe. As we admire this image from the past, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of classic fashion and the timeless beauty of Swan & Edgar's Smart Tunic Frocks.
