Exceptional Original 1930s Vintage Rust Red Skirt Suit With Fur Trimmed Bishop Sleeves

This exquisite suit was made in the 1930s from rich rust red textured wool. It was cut in the classic silhouette of the period with a gently nipped waist and elegant slim lines. The jacket features padded shoulders and an unusual asymmetric two button closure. A sharp fur collar and an integral fabric tie scarf adorn the neckline but the real showstopper are the large bishop sleeves which have been trimmed with matching fur. Inside, the blazer is lined in rust red crepe with an integral inside pocket and does not have a maker’s label. The matching skirt was cut in a gentle A line and fastens with an original metal side zipper and press stud closure above.

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 pure white cotton.

 

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.
