{"product_id":"black-scalloped-vest-1940s","title":"1940's black scalloped vest","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ea unique black wool crepe vest from the barbara turner collection, its sculptural neckline nodding to schiaparelli and reinterpreting tuxedo styling for a woman's body. this scalloped, sculptural shaping echoes a technique popular in 1940s design, though the dramatic scale of this particular piece sets it apart from more typical uses of the style. curved seams like this are notoriously difficult to execute cleanly, there's no straight line to hide behind, and the slightest tension miscalculation shows immediately as puckering or a neckline that won't lie flat. wool crepe was the right choice for exactly this reason: it holds a sculpted curve without stiffening or losing its drape, letting the shape read as clean and deliberate rather than engineered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ean attached velvet cummerbund crosses the center front, closing at the side seam with hook-and-eye, and velvet-covered buttons echo the tuxedo reference throughout. smaller in scale with more provocative styling than most pieces in the collection, this may have started life as a costume. interior is clean finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003econdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eexcellent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebest fits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003es\/m, generous through the bust to layer over a blouse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcross Shoulder:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaist:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClipped on model:\u003c\/strong\u003e no\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other Matters Atelier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666521055318,"sku":"AB-010","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/9779\/3366\/files\/SCULPTURALVEST-1.jpg?v=1787876381","url":"https:\/\/othermattersatelier.com\/products\/black-scalloped-vest-1940s","provider":"OTHER MATTERS ATELIER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
