About the Item

This 1920s to early 1930s long jacket is crafted from the most beautiful lame fabric with deeply considered attention to detail in its construction. It is crafted from a lightweight silk lame patterned with painterly rainbow flowers - we love the deeper toned art deco hues and vibrant blue, pink and tangerine details. The fabric is woven all-over with metallic gold lamé thread which forms hazy, sheer florals and vines. Tailored to a loose fit, almost like a duster coat, it has a panelled construction throughout. The notched collar is wide and relaxed, as are the sleeves. It fastens with a wrap-over front secured with a single button. The button is as decadent as the fabric; it is black and carved with geometric patterns and detailed with gold metallic paint. The jacket is lined with matte butter-yellow shot silk. The jacket is in outstanding vintage condition with no issues and the lame is just fabulous; almost imperceptible tarnishing noted and no thinning. The yellow silk lining is a considered and thoughtful replacement and hence no labels remain in the jacket. This would have been one of the finest garments of its type in the day and guaranteed to turn heads on arrival. We believe it would best fit a size UK 10 (US 6) upwards, depending on the desired fit.

1990s Couture Silk Floral Rose Print Dress and Jacket Suit
Located in London, GB
This enchanting 1990s printed silk 2 piece set is comprised of a simple shift dress and bolero to be worn as either as an ensemble or separates. The aesthetic is playful, summery and feminine and presents easily as formal or informal attire. The soft ivory silk is slightly embossed with an irregular texture atop a vibrant rose print design in sugar pink, canary yellow, sapphire blue and emerald green. The dress is sleeveless and broad straps are gathered at the shoulders. The full circle skirt is gathered into tight uniform pleats below the waist and flares generously to the calf. The hem is fluted in yellow satin to match the pretty satin rosette embellishments that feature on the waistband and atop of each shoulder. The bodice is lined in ivory silk. The jacket has three quarter length sleeves which are gathered at the shoulder and the cuff to create an understated fairytale puff. The wide cuffs are embellished with satin rosettes to complement those on the dress, and the seams are fluted in matching yellow ribbon. This piece has a collarless round neck and falls into a central button stand which curves at the hem and hosts 4 x yellow lucite buttons. Tailoring below the bust brings the jacket neatly in at the waist when fastened, and a pretty peplum flares out over the hips. The peplum detail becomes more exaggerated at the reverse, where it is gathered into pleats to mirror the skirt. In pristine vintage condition, this charming set would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8 or smaller. Unlabelled couture...
