{"product_id":"40-s-brown-cotton-skirt","title":"40’s Brown Cotton Blazer Skirt Suit","description":"\u003cp\u003eGorgeous cotton and silk-blend lightweight skirt suit.  Circa 1940s.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hourglass-shaped jacket is darted for a perfect fit.  Features a wide black velvet platter collar and bracelet length folds up cuffed sleeves with the same black velvet.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecorative non-functional hip arrow shape pockets with inset black velvet.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoes up the center front with seven 5\/8\" diameter self-covered flat buttons that are attached to the jacket by interior safety pins for ease in cleaning.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBound buttonholes (a sign of a quality suit).  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall shoulder pads for shaping - can be easily removed with a few snips of the scissors if you prefer a natural shoulder line.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bottom of the jacket is double layered creating a peplum as pictured.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe matching skirt features a 1\" wide self-fabric waistband.  Fastens with a concealed snap and hook and loop and a metal zipper on the left side.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe skirt features four flat pleats below the front waistband and vertical darts at the back below the waistband.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth the jacket and the skirt are unlined and appropriate for warmer weather wear.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDESIGNER LABEL:  None.  This does appear to be commercially made so the label was probably lost at some time in its life.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONDITION:  Very good - There are no stains, rips, holes, snags, odors, fading, or discoloration.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe only thing is two very small areas on the back of the jacket where the fabric is starting to become thin. These are not holes and could be repaired by darning or small interior patches.  The flaws are a) one near the sleeve seam (pictured above)  about 3\" above the underarm seam and b) the other on the sleeve itself very near the first flaw (also pictured above). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSIZING:  There are no size tags. Based on the measurements below, I'd say this would best fit a modern size Medium to Large depending on how you like our fit.  Please note that the waist could be expanded a bit by removing the waistband and opening up the front pleats directly below.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS OF JACKET:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShoulders:  15-5\/8\" - across \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOuter Sleeves: 18\" - shoulder seam to sleeve end\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInner Sleeves:  11\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBust:  39\" - underarm to underarm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaist:  30\" - around\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottom: 41\" - around the bottom of the peplum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength:  21-3\/4\" - top of shoulder to bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS OF SKIRT: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaist: 30\"  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHips:  40\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweep:  42\" with 4\" tall center back kick pleat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength:  24\" plus 1\" waistband \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"brocante-market","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37030635339929,"sku":"BM90","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/il__1m4wnzfya__nk20p5jx4_fullxfull.2323256080_5ea8.png?v=1604691548","url":"https:\/\/shopthrilling.mom\/products\/40-s-brown-cotton-skirt","provider":"THRILLING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
