RESERVED ON LAYAWAY FOR AMBIKA - PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE - PAYMENT 2 OF 2 due 17th January 2022

This stunning blazer was made in the 1940s from a bright green gabardine. It was cut to the classic silhouette of the period with strong padded shoulders and a nipped waist. The sharp notched lapel collar leads to a single row of three beautiful fabric covered buttons which delicate over stitching. Matching buttons have been used to decorate the functional pockets at the sides of the waist. Expert darting and panel work shows off the high quality of tailoring of this piece, it really is exquisite! Inside, the blazer is lined in green crepe and has the National Recovery Board tag.

The blazer is in good condition, however are a few faint marks and grazes as pictured as well as a larger professional darn at the back of the collar and a small hole at the bottom of the sleeve. The lining is discoloured, predominately at the sleeves. 

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.
