It was cut in the classic hourglass silhouette of the period with a beautifully nipped waist and double layered peplum below

The fabulous peplum further accentuates the tiny waist and the panel work on the front of the jacket gives it great structure

A draped tie detail enhances the neatly fitted shape at the hip and the draping as a whole is very reminiscent of the style of Dorothy O’Hara with all of her strong Femme Fatale vibes
