Original 1950s 50s Vintage Classic Black Blazer With Fabulous Collar By Betty Rose

This gorgeous blazer was made from black wool blend in the 1950s. It was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with lightly padded shoulders and a nipped waist. The unusual shape collar leads to a row of four fabric covered buttons which fasten the jacket and the beautiful panel work further enhances the shape of the garment. Decorative black grosgrain strips at the waist give the appearance of pockets and further enhance the flared hem of the blazer. Inside, the jacket is lined in crepe and has a maker’s label for Betty Rose, synonymous with high quality tailoring.

Bust: 36”

Waist: 28”

Shoulders: 16” seam to seam

The blazer is in very good condition with no issues to note.

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.
