Beautiful Original 1940s Vintage Grey Blazer With Blush Pink Self Spot Pattern

This stunning blazer was made in the 1940s from grey wool with a dusty pink / soft lilac self spot pattern. It was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with strong padded shoulders and a nipped waist. The sharp notched lapel collar leads to a single row of five dusty rose buttons that fasten the blazer at the front. Clever darting tailors the jacket beautifully and gives it that iconic fitted waist and functional slit pockets add a practical element. Inside, the blazer is lined in crepe and has a label with the original owner’s name Anita M. Iribe.

Bust: 34” (tight 36”)

Waist: 28”

Shoulders: 15” seam to seam

Length: 26 1/2”

The jacket is in good condition with only some minor external flaws as well as some wear and splitting to the lining as pictured. Please note there are two pins / staples which we have left in place and handle these with care as they may be sharp.

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.
