Introducing our newest demi couture design for Overdress Vintage's AW23 collection, a juxtpostition of masculine and feminine, taking inspiration from the billowing scarves and romantic shawls seen on the catwalks this season. With a nod to the power dressing of the 80s, especially the iconic silhouettes of YSL, our vintage black blazers have been reimagined with a dramatic giant polka dot print shawl, pleated and integrated into the shoulder of the jacket - it is part of the jacket not separate. The cape shawl falls dramatically like a new romantic train, billowing like a cape when you walk as it cascades over the shoulder and to the front.

This design can be worn 2 ways - the cape can also be draped across the front and secured with its integrated fasten where it is juxtaposed with an oversized fabric flower. This handmade blend of quality vintage design with the fashion trends of today epitomizes our demi couture approach. The graceful shawl offers a softening contrast to the strong shoulders, with opportunities to drape and pin the fabric in place as an homage to YSL's neckties and brooches. This demi couture piece encapsulates a spectacular vision, blending vintage style with today's trends in a controlled yet dramatic fashion.

Each blazer is a one of kind in the style as shown.

Size Guide

We take pride in providing accurate measurements with an approximation of modern UK with an International equivalent size chart below sizing to help you when choosing  your purchase and  will fit properly  as often vintage sizes differ significantly from modern sizes. 

It is also very helpful if you are aware of your own particular dimensions. If you're not sure, you may easily approximate them by measuring an item of clothes from your own wardrobe that fits well and is laid flat.

Below is how we measure for TOPS, DRESSES, JUMPSUITS, JACKETS, AND OUTERWEAR) 

Bust - Measured by doubling the width from armpit to armpit across the front of the garment.

Waist - Measured by doubling the width from one side of the waistband to the other.

Sleeve - Measured from the shoulder to the cuff. Shoulder - Measured from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.

Length - Measured from the collar or top mid of the shoulder to the garment's hem.

We measure all our items flat and use the guide below
