1917 Dainty and Demure Vintage WW1 Lucille Fashion Ad S. Werner Artwork

1917 Dainty and Demure Vintage WW1 Lucille Fashion Ad S. Werner Artwork. Simply Wonderful and Elegant Original Vintage WW1 Fashion Ad taken from the pages of a March, 1917 issue of Ladies Home Journal Magazine. Lucille or Lady Duff Gordon was a largely self-made woman equally brilliant at fashion design and self-promotion. Known for her flaming red tresses and romantic dresses by 1917 she had begun to market a line of her forcks in the most popular venue in America- the Sears, Roebuck Catalog! Here we see a trio of devastatingly demure and lovely designs with new full shorter skirts hearkening back to the styles of the 1860's each with it's own purple prose type moniker- Joy O' Life, Garden of Roses and intimately My Dearest. These lovely gowns with frills and intricate detailing were the absolute height of fashion in 1917 with a price-tag of $23 to $35.00 each. This illustration has all the delicate charm and grace of the era- note the loose and comfortable shape of Joy o' Life- sporty yet practical enough to dash about doing war relief work in ones smart little auto or even the more common street car. Ad measures 12 x 16- marvelous example of the fashions of the fabulous Lucille! She was also the sister of notorious novelists Elinor Glyn who invented " It" and was among the survivors of the infamous Titanic disaster. Wonderful bit of history that will be stunning on display as well.
