Fabulous Original 1950s Vintage Grey Micro Check Blousy Blazer
This beautiful blazer was made in the 1950s from a lightweight grey flecked wool. It was cut in a wonderfully blousey silhouette that gives it a great casual vibe. The small collar has been adorned with black buttons, which also fasten the jacket and feature on the mock pockets and the back belt. Below the blousy bust, the waist nips in sharply to give structure to the garment before flaring out again at the hem. Inside, the jacket is unlined and has a maker’s label for Lorch of Dallas.
Bust: 40”
Waist: 28”
Shoulders: 16” seam to seam
Length: 22”
The jacket 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 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.
