Layaway Payment 2 of 2 - RESERVED FOR HOLLY - PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE - Fabulous Original 1940s Vintage Navy Blue Agent Carter Suit With Sharp Button Details

RESERVED ON LAYAWAY FOR HOLLY - PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE - LAYAWAY PAYMENT 2 OF 2 due 27th May 2024

This exceptional suit was made in the 1940s from navy blue rayon faille. It was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with strong padded shoulders and a nipped waist. The super sharp dagger collar was crafted in two layers, navy below with a removable contrasting white fabric collar above and it beautifully highlights the geometric seam work at the shoulders. Six buttons fasten the jacket with an additional popper at the waist. Below the waist, the jacket falls into a flattering peplum that bustles at the back and has been adorned with button details at the front. Three quarter length sleeves finish off the jacket and inside, it is unlined. The matching skirt was cut in a gentle A line with side vents and fastens with an original metal side zipper and button closure above. This suit gives us classic film noir secret agent vibes, just the thing to make your Agent Carter dreams come true.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.

They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in pure white cotton.

They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.

We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
