Stunning Original Late 1920s / Early 1930s Burgundy Blazer With Hand Painted Buttons
This incredible blazer was made in the late 1920s / early 1930s from rich burgundy wool crepe. It was cut in the flattering relaxed silhouette of the period that falls from lightly padded shoulders in a straight, shape skimming line. The collar runs into long lapels to firm a deep V neckline and three stunning painted floral buttons fasten the jacket at the low waist. Beautiful top stitched fan detailing decorates the small functional waist pockets. Inside, the blazer is lined in cream silk and has a maker’s label for Myra Salter of Cambridge.
Bust: 38”
Waist: 34”
Shoulders: 13 3/4” seam to seam
Length: 23 1/2”
The blazer is in very good condition with only a few tiny nibbles and some very rain discolouration to the sleeve as pictured. There is some staining and a few repairs are required to the lining.

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.
