Positively Edwardian.

It wasn't easy being in the Marlborough Set.

There were debutante balls, diplomatic receptions and dinner parties every night. Summer was worse.

With Cowes week and the Scotland grouse season. Ladies had to pack a huge domed trunk, called a "Noah's Ark," filled with day dresses, walking gowns, tea gowns, evening gowns, sporting ensembles, suits, capes, coats and wraps.

Ladies, I've saved you the five wardrobe changes a day and found one garment that captures the glamour and luxury of Edwardian England.

Queen Alexandra Blazer (No. 2661). True to the period and made of 100% linen. But what really sets it apart is the Soutache embroidery on the lapel, collar, cuffs and hems. The craft is called passementerie, and it was perfected by Court seamstresses and Bond Street dressmakers.

The shoulders have seven graduated pleats that give them a certain fullness. The waist is slightly nipped, but flares out at the hem and the back is double vented.

Will make every occasion feel like your own personal coronation.

Women's sizes: 2 through 18. Imported.
