About the Item

This original late 1940s kimono style jacket is tailored from a rich black, man-made grosgrain fabric which has a lovely texture and sheen. Imbued with a sense of fun, the flared cut swirls around the wearer. The left sleeve is adorned with bold appliqué flowers and foliage in coral pink, yellow and pale grey, finished with vibrant green embroidered vines. It is cut with a wrap-around silhouette which ties at the front, allowing for a flexible fit. We love it worn with black wide-leg trousers or with bare legs if you dare as it is a longer fit. This piece is in excellent vintage condition with no issues and very high quality. Made in the USA, it doesn't have a composition or size label so please check the measurements below closely. We have measured as though the garment was being worn but there is some flexibility due to the wrap around style and suggest sizes UK 10-12 or US 6-8. MEASUREMENTS Bust - 36 in. (91 cm) Waist - 30 in. (76 cm) Hip - 38 in. (97 cm) Length - 33 in. (84 cm) Shoulders - 34 in. (86 cm)

Gucci TomFord 2001AwardYear Leather TuxedoPeakLapel SingleClasp EcruDinnerJacket
By Gucci, Tom Ford for Gucci
Located in Chicago, IL
Tom Ford for his Gucci Spring/Summer 2001 collection toyed with the retro mid-century concept of nude sex-appeal embodied by Marilyn Monroe, who inspired that season's designs and ad campaign. With the themes of bare skin and black-seamed sheer stockings, Ford's opening looks on his fashion-show runway featured ecru corset dresses with black transparent or leather overlays and stiletto heels. Our versatile ecru leather tuxedo-influenced sharp-shoulder dinner jacket is from the same award-winning collection. Significantly, 2001 was the year that Tom Ford (b. 1961) won the Council of Fashion Designers of America womenswear award for Designer of the Year, while The Met acquired Ford's signature corset dress for its Costume Institute collection. Purchased at the Gucci boutique on Manhattan's Upper East Side, this "Made In Italy"-labeled jacket is tagged size 40, while suiting a US-size 4 to 6 with the padded shoulder-to-shoulder seam measurement of 15.4 inches and 23.6 inches arm length. The jacket is streamlined by marked and angled peak lapels, sleeve vents with concealed buttons, back symmetrical vent, and single-point closure near the interior seam via a tiny Gucci branded silver-tone metal clasp. Notably, these elements are among the most technically challenging to tailor. Fully lined in ecru silk-blend fabric, the jacket's left interior chest pocket sports button-and-fabric-loop closure and a fully sewn larger black Gucci brand label. For styling inspiration, we added photos of the jacket worn over our not-included black-tulle-covered ecru strapless balconette corset dress that was the Gucci Spring/Summer 2001 fashion...
