40s Crop Jacket Skirt Suit - Light teal linen
We have been wanting to make this fabulous new 1940s style crop jacket and matching skirt since a similar style was spotted in a photograph from 1941. The 'crop' or bolero jacket captures the boxy styles of the early '40s perfectly and has been created here for the warmer seasons in 100% linen.
If you're a fan of good tailoring and the early 1940s silhouette, you will love this stunning 1940s style crop jacket and matching skirt. We are absolutely delighted with this fabulous suit - which brought much joy and delight here! :-)
Strong shoulders, an elegant shawl collar and diagonal patch details perfectly capture this iconic look. See how the patch details on the jacket are mirrored in the skirt pockets! The early 40s boxy shape places a lot of emphasis in the upper body and we put a lot of effort into creating the perfect shoulder shape. This resulted in a significant shoulder pad and roll with three tucks into the sleeve head. The shawl collar softens the shape slightly - by just adding that extra detail. The non-functional diagonal flaps below the shoulder emulate a pocket and are hand finished. Fully lined
Skirt is beautifully tailored with a flattering a-line shape, typical of the 1940s. The deep (5cm) waistband creates a lovely 'nipped in' look. This is further accentuated with two side pockets which feature double diagonal flaps which trim the pockets below.
