1930s Antique Silk Indian Waistcoat With Gold Brocade

About the Item

This exquisite 1930s antique ivory silk Indian waistcoat with gold metallic brocade is in lovely vintage condition for a piece of this era and would look fantastic paired with a blouse and jeans. It features an intricate brocade paisley design that incorporates Indian animals amidst flora over a soft a ivory background. There is a rounded hem and a dinner jacket style lapel which has been secured with a stitch on either side. It is fully lined in silk and fastens at the front with 2 covered buttons and a loop in the matching brocade. There are some minor flaws that can be attributed to the antiquity of the piece. There is slightly uneven stitching on the yoke at the reverse across the shoulders and the lamé fabric has frayed on some of the seams as photographed. Could be worn open or closed as desired. A beautiful, versatile piece that can be effortlessly dressed up or down with the right accessories. Would fit up to US size 8, UK size 12. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163cm) and this was very roomy on her. MEASUREMENTS: LENGTH - 55.8cms / 22" BUST - 92.7 cms / 36.5" WAIST - 82.5 cms / 32.5"

  • 1970s Biba Copper Sequinned Jacket
    By Barbara Hulanicki Biba
    Located in London, GB
    Early and desirable 1970s Biba sequin jacket in superb vintage condition. The jacket is very slim cut with Art Deco influenced tailoring. There are no fastenings or lapels so this is a type of swing jacket which clings and hugs the body. With all-over copper sequinned embellishment, there is a small padded insert to the puff sleeved shoulder with tapered sleeves toward the cuff. Lined in a corresponding copper polyester jersey. This piece really belongs in a serious collection or museum and is just as wearable today as it was over 50 years ago. This dark gold fabric label was the second Biba label and only in use from 1970 to 1972. It has been in our collection for many years as we have not wish to part with it! All original vintage Biba...
