Fabulous Original Early 1950s 50s Nude Pink Brown Micro Check Blazer By Glenhaven
This stunning blazer was made in the early 1950s from soft cotton in a cream and brown micro check pattern. It was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with rounded off shoulders and a nipped waist accentuated by darting. The notched lapel collar has been rounded off in a nod to the softer silhouette of the turn of the decade and leads to a single row of five decorative buttons that fasten the jacket. Small angular pockets add a lovely detail to the waist and turn up cuffs finish off the sleeves beautifully. Inside, the blazer is unlined in classic summer suit style, with protective fabric at the underarms and has a maker’s label for Glenhaven.
Bust: 36”
Waist: 28”
Shoulders: 15 1/2” seam to seam
Length: 22”
There blazer is in very good condition with only a faint mark to the collar that could be hidden with a brooch and some very slight discolouration to the protective underarm fabric as pictured.

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.
