This incredibly rare WW2 utility dress with the double eleven (IIOII) label inside is a stunning example of a what was classed as luxury rationing clothing in 1947 and boy has it stood the test of time! Designed with a classic check tartan shirt dress silhouette it's made from crisp cotton and cut for a loose fit that can be cinched in using the leather buckled waist belt. It has wonder straight cut sleeves and the most incredible knife pleats at the hem, front and back, which give this dress great movement. The two breast pockets, stitch detailing around the collar to give the impression of a double collar and slight shoulder padding really finish this dress off just perfectly. Everything from the cut, high quaility medium weight cotton, leather belt buckle and the attention to detail really does show that the double eleven aka IIOII label really did mean luxury in 1947 and in my opinion today too. An absolutely incredible 1940s WW2 dress that is timeless in design and in perfect condition! STUNNING!

Vintage Rare 1940s Silk Crewel Embroidered Floral Duster Coat

Vintage Rare 1940s Silk Crewel Embroidered Floral Duster Coat

£350.00 GBP

– Sold Out

EDITORS' NOTES
SIZE + FIT
SHIPPING

This incredible and very rare 1940s hand embroidered crewel coat is just breath taking! Cut in a traditional 1940s princess coat silhouette, with vivid pink + green coloured all over embroidered this coat is so beautiful I consider it a piece of wearable art! The coat is cut from a mid weight linen with detailed all over floral embroidered which has a subtle graduated design to it, wooded button + metal zip fastening to the front. The shoulder has a stand off the shoulders very subtly but this detail, along with the coat nipping in at the waist and falling out to create an A-line silhouette, creates an extremely flattering silhouette. The interior of this coat is just as stunning as the exterior. An incredible example of a vintage crewel embroidered duster coat!
Size: XS-Small, the below measurements are maximum measurements. There are large seam allowances inside the coat which could allow for the coat to be altered, by a trusted tailor.
Size Detail: Model is 6ft1
Measurements: Bust 34 Inches 86.5cm, Waist 28 Inches 71cm, Shoulder to Shoulder 17 Inches 43cm, Sleeve Length 23 Inches 58.5cm , Length 54.5 Inches 139cm
Material: Linen base, Silk thread
Care: Specialist Dry Clean ONLY
Condition: Vintage, whilst this coat isn't perfect it is in great condition for its age and delicate nature. There are patched of missing embroidery down the front placard + on sleeves, mainly elbows. There is small repair to the linen on one elbow also but it isn't very noticeable. I think the signs of wear to this piece add more romance and authenticity to the coat which still has many many many years of wear in it left.
Era: 1940s
Colour: Pink + Green
Brand: Hand Made - Crewel Embroidery
