Vintage Silk Evening Jacket by Rosalind Gilbert

DescriptionThis is a tailored elegant jacket designed by Rosalind Gilbert and made of black moiré or watered silk. I have so far not been able to find out much about this designer, only that she was exhibiting in London fashion shows in 1947. The jacket has a fitted waist, a peplum which is elongated at the back into a long section which is weighted, and fitted narrow sleeves. The bodice buttons up to the neck which was a narrow collar, with moulded glass buttons. There are two small pockets at yoke height. The jacket which is labelled size 38, is displayed on a size 10 model and the measurements are as follows Outer sleeve length 18 inches Shoulder length 6 inches Waist 25 inches Bust 36 inches Size 38 is the equivalent of U.K. 10-12 and the U.S. 8 These measurements are on the flat. Please check these measurements carefully with a garment of your own, and feel free to ask questions before buying. I am careful to describe goods as accurately as I can, but secondhand items almost always show some signs of wear and may have small flaws which have been overlooked. The garment is in good condition, the only flaw is that the bottom button is of the same size and shape as the others, but a slightly different design, but this is not noticeable.
