I mentioned on twitter recently that I was de-cluttering my vintage wardrobe and couldn't think of a better way to do this than to launch another giveaway!
Up for grabs and PERFECT for spring is this beautiful deep rust orange vintage three-quarter length linen jacket by TARA for Z. Victory Paris. I've tried researching the label but have had very little luck. From what I gather, it was a collection by Tara Jarmon dated approximately 1980's *but I might be completely wrong*..(if anyone can enlighten me, please do so!)!
The jacket is 100% linen in a fab rusty orange colour and features an asymmetric military style wooden button fastened front, padded shoulders, mandarin collar and a split up the back. Cuffs feature matching buttons (although one is broken (see close-up image of cuff)). The lining has a couple of little tears, but these are easily serviceable and out-of-view!
The label states it is a size 38 but would suit a UK size 8-10.
The label states it is a size 38 but would suit a UK size 8-10.
Measurements whilst laid flat and completely fastened are as follows:
armpit to armpit: 18 inches
Waist: 15.5 inches
In all this is a super-amazing beautiful jacket with a perfect fit, fantastic for Spring walks and summer evenings.

ReplyDeleteHey, following you here as Urmika
ReplyDeleteI'd like to team this exquisite red jacket with a white ruffled blouse and denim skirt inside so it can be worn opened or fastened with the buttons. I'd like to also team it up with a couple of shiny finger rings because no other accessories would suit it enough! Also, a pair of black Charles and Keith strappy heels!

Hi, I'm a follower already.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a beautiful coat.
I would wear it with my vintage white t-shirt that has lace panels across the shoulders. And with skinny jeans and my trusty brown flat boots, or my heeled black El Naturalista ones (its coming into Autumn here). I'd wear some chunky bangles too, pea green stained wood one would be great.
I follow your blog - great prize - I'd wear it with tan boots and leggings with a plain white tee.

Followed you on Twitter (@memoryanddream there)
ReplyDeleteThis is a super neat coat and I've love to win. Personally, I think it would look great with my favorite pair of dark wash jeans!
OMG, you're the one who did the mannequin! I saw it on Crafster and thought it was very clever :D I just followed you. I'm stoked that it would fit me perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI'd wear it with medium wash skinny jeans, an off-white angora/cashmere/wool sweater that has a cute asymmetric fold-down detail on the collar, and over-the-knee suede boots that are somewhere between cranberry and ochre in colour.
Since it's still very cold here, I'd need to put on a beige crocheted toque with a bobbled "fur" brim in beige, brown and rust. Around my neck would be a scarf crocheted sideways with various yarns in off-white, smoky grey, pumpkin orange, forest green, navy blue, and black.
I'd have to sort through my brooches, but I think the sunburst with fake pearls in the middle would be best for this jacket :D
These are the lovely vintage clothing pictures..
ReplyDeleteYou are having excellent collection...I like all the stuffs..
