Gorgeous Original 1940s Vintage Lemon Yellow Gabardine Blazer With Arrow Details
This fabulous blazer was made from yellow gabardine in the 1940s. It was cut in a casual silhouette with a less fitted waist, reminiscent of the Californian summer wear blazers of the period. The notched lapel collar leads to a row of four buttons that fasten the blazer and turn up cuffs finish off the sleeves beautifully. The bodice was adorned with to shapely long darts on each side that accentuate the garment’s silhouette and feature embroidered arrow heads at the top and bottom. Inside, the blazer is unlined and without maker’s labels.
Bust: 32” (tight 34”)
Waist: 28”
Shoulders: 14 1/2”
Length: 22 1/2”
The blazer is in very good condition with only a small mark, some discolouration on the cuff and slight puckering at the hem which should resolve with a professional pressing.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.
They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in two different options:
1. Pure cream cotton for your heavier weight dresses, blazers and suits
or
2. White cotton muslin for lightweight summer dresses (so they don’t show through the fabric)
They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.
We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
