The image showcases a stylish woman wearing a high-neck blouse with a short crepe de Chine skirt, accessorized with a belt and short hair styled in the popular bob. During this period of stress, with the looming threat of World War I, Barkers made a commitment to keep their workrooms active and their staff employed.

This selfless decision allowed their customers to enjoy exceptional value and affordability, making these beautiful blouses accessible to a wider audience. The blouses featured in the advertisement are available in various designs, including those with high necks and collars, which were popular in the 1910s.
