This photograph print from 1915, published by Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a selection of practical garments designed by Mrs Oliver Ltd for women who worked. The central focus of the advertisement is the Olva "Gardcom," a groundbreaking combination of a skirt and knickers, made from workman's jeans or other serviceable washing materials. The Olva Gardcom was a versatile and functional design, catering to the needs of women who spent their days tending to gardens, farms, or factories. Its sturdy fabric and clever design ensured both durability and comfort, making it an essential addition to any working woman's wardrobe.
