Featuring a charming hand-made Paris colour or white Guipure and Valencienne lace slip, this elegant garment is the epitome of Edwardian fashion. The slip is lined throughout with chiffon, making it perfect for evening wear and theatre performances. The high neckline and narrow waistline are characteristic of the era, while the puffed sleeves add a feminine touch. The intricate embroidery on the slip, with its delicate floral motifs and scalloped edges, showcases the skillful craftsmanship of the time.

This advertisement is a reminder of the intricate and beautiful clothing that defined the Edwardian era. With its high-quality production and attention to detail, it's no wonder that John Barker & Co's lace slips were in high demand during this time.
