This image showcases a fashionable woman dressed in a woolen stockinette coat frock from Debenham & Freebody, an esteemed clothing retailer of the early 20th century. The year is 1916, a time when the world was on the brink of significant change, with the First World War raging on. Despite the turmoil, women continued to prioritize their appearance and sought out stylish and functional garments to wear. The woman in the photograph wears the coat with pride, its large collar framing her face and adding an air of elegance. The coat's belted waist accentuates her figure, while the patch pockets add a practical touch. The stockinette stitching on the coat's bodice and sleeves adds texture and visual interest, making it a standout piece in any wardrobe. The coat's thick wool fabric suggests warmth and comfort, perfect for the chilly autumn and winter months. The use of natural fibers was common during this time, as synthetic materials had not yet gained popularity. The coat's timeless design and classic color palette have ensured its enduring appeal, making it a coveted find for collectors and historians of fashion. This advertisement for Debenham & Freebody's coat frock is a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion trends and aesthetic values of the early 1900s. It serves as a reminder of the importance of style and self-expression, even in the face of adversity.
