Hello all, I have been stalking ebay for a few months, desperate to get a cute, nipped in blazer, but unfortunately I haven't found any I've liked in my size. Does anyone know of any modern companies that make a reproduction style? Especially one with details (although I suppose I could always add that on)
Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is precisely what you're looking for, but Tara Starlet seem to have a nice one:

and Trashy Diva have this one. Personally, I love the shape, but I'm iffy about the fabric (stretch cotton) for that price:

I do love that jacket, but oh, the price after exchange..!

I thought the same about the trashy diva jacket when I saw it too, the material just does not look good

My ideal jacket would look something like this..but in a vintage size 20:

I just acquired some Vintage Vogue patterns for stylish 40s blazers:

They're not quite the lines you're looking for, but perhaps could be altered/redrafted?

Also, they are currently no longer uber on sale, but they might be again.
