Amazing Rare Original 1930s Vintage Navy Blue And White Graduating Spot Skirt Suit

This stunning suit was made in the 1930s from navy blue rayon crepe with a graduating white spot pattern. Regular sized spots adorn both the jacket and skirt with larger spots in alternating coloured bands decorating the skirt hem. The jacket was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with structured shoulders and a gently nipped waist. The collarless neckline creates a deep V and eight beautiful buttons fasten the blazer at the front. The matching skirt has been fired for beautiful movement and fastens with poppers and hooks at the waist.

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.
