About the Item

This 1930s jacket has a superb print and the velvet fabric is of painterly florals in an assortment of rich jewel tones set against an inky black background. The sleeves are cut to a bell-shape with the fabric gathering at the shoulders and the cuffs. They are unlined and the cuffs are finished with a single black glass faceted button. The jacket is cut to a loose style that makes it highly wearable for layering over day or evening attire. The body is lined in a black crepe. The front overlaps and fastens at the bottom with a singular popper. It has an unusual panelled hemline. The jacket is in good vintage condition and the velvet is perfect so it presents very well. At some point in its life, probably fairly early on, it was made bigger in the shoulders with discreet panels added. It has been very skillfully done; I only noticed as the lining, as it could not be seen when worn, was not adjusted to match. Its possible that other adjustments were made to the hemline but I rather like the avant-garde look this jacket has; its strikingly contemporary. There are no labels present so please check the measurements closely as the fabric has no stretch. It could fit a variety of sizes if you prefer an oversized look and the bust is generous. Our seamstress loved the fit over a chunky jumper and she wears a UK 6-8 or US 2-4. I've also worn this and I'm a size UK 14 or US 10. MEASUREMENTS BUST - 40 in. (102 cm) WAIST - 38 in.

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...
