Description

The Blazer

A Women’s Silk Blazer That Holds Its Shape

Most silk blazers and silk jackets for women are made from charmeuse or crepe: soft, fluid cloths that drape beautifully on a hanger and lose their shape on the body, especially at the shoulders and lapels. Dupioni is different. It is a crisp silk woven from uneven yarns, so it has a fine slubbed texture, a natural sheen and enough body to hold a tailored line.

This women’s silk blazer is cut from 100% dupioni silk on a light canvas front, with inset peak lapels and a single button at the natural waist. It is made to your measurements, and you try a free cotton test blazer at home before the silk is cut.

Free Test Blazer

Silk Shows Every Pull, So the Fit Is Checked in Cotton First

A wool jacket can hide a little tension; dupioni silk cannot, because its sheen picks up every ripple. Below is a real client’s cotton test blazer, photographed during her fitting: the shoulders, waist and sleeve length were confirmed in cotton before her silk blazer was made.

With silk, small fit errors show more, so the test blazer matters even more than usual. The changes we make most often are at the shoulders, the back and the bust position, along with buttons placed so the front does not gape at the waist. The design in the photos is a starting point; if your body needs an extra dart or a different button position, the final blazer follows you, not the picture.

1
Choose a silk color and a lining
Pick the dupioni color and a satin lining in the selector, then your fit and measurements.
2
A cotton blazer is made first
Cut to your measurements, the test blazer takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch.
3
Look at the waist and the sleeves
Silk shows tension as small ripples, so check that nothing pulls across the back when you reach forward, that the button meets the waist without strain, and that the sleeve ends where you want it with a bracelet or watch.
4
We cut the silk
Your changes are applied and the dupioni blazer is made in 3 to 4 weeks, arriving 5 to 10 days after it ships. Keep the cotton blazer.

Why Dupioni

Dupioni Silk Jacket or a Soft Silk Blazer?

Woman in a women's silver dupioni silk blazer with inset peak lapels and one button at the waist, front view

Dupioni silkCrisp, with a slubbed texture and a two-tone sheen from different colored warp and weft. Holds a lapel and a sculpted waist; the right silk for a tailored jacket.
Charmeuse or satinLiquid and glossy. Lovely for a blouse or the unstructured silky jacket ladies often buy for summer, but it creases easily and collapses at the shoulders when tailored.
Silk crepeMatte and drapey, closer to a dress fabric than a jacket cloth.

The trade-offs are worth knowing. Dupioni creases at the elbows and the back after sitting; the creases soften on a hanger and a cool iron through a cloth removes them. Water can mark silk, so avoid wearing it in heavy rain, and keep perfume off the cloth.


The Cloths

The Dupioni Silk, Up Close

These are close-up photos of the actual silk. Look for the small slubs in the weave; they are the signature of real dupioni, not flaws. Choose your color in the selector; here are four of the shades on offer.

The Details

Inset Peak Lapels, One Button and a Center Vent

Back of a women's dupioni silk blazer showing the center vent and fitted waist, center vent blazer back view

Inset peak lapelsThe lapel is set into the front rather than cut in one with it, which gives a clean, architectural edge. The trade-off is a little more handwork, and it is not easy to alter later.
One button at the natural waistMarks the narrowest point of the body so the silk jacket for women reads as fitted even when open.
Single-layer canvas frontA lighter canvas than our wool blazers, so the silk keeps its crispness without feeling stiff.
Center ventAs the center vent suit jacket back view shows, the vent lets the jacket sit cleanly over the hips and move when you sit.

Many ask whether this is part of a dupioni silk suit, and women can ask for matching trousers or a skirt in the same silk through the Ask a question about this piece form. A long silk jacket for ladies who prefer more length only needs that length entered on the measurement form. Worn with matching trousers it becomes a women’s suit jacket for evening. For a softer sheen in a full suit see our women’s wool and silk suit, and for a wool blazer our women’s merino wool blazer.

Questions & Answers

Questions About the Women’s Dupioni Silk Blazer

Q. What is dupioni silk?
A. A plain-weave silk made from uneven yarns, which gives it small slubs, a crisp hand and a natural sheen. It is firmer than most silks, which is what makes it suitable for a tailored jacket.
Q. Is dupioni silk good or bad?
A. Good for structure, poor for drape. Its crisp body holds lapels and a sculpted waist far better than charmeuse or crepe, which is why it suits a blazer; the same stiffness makes it wrong for a soft blouse. It also creases and marks with water, so it rewards a little care.
Q. Can I wear a dupioni blazer in summer?
A. Yes, for evenings and events. Silk breathes and the blazer is light, but dupioni is a woven, lined jacket rather than a beach layer, so it suits summer weddings and dinners more than hot afternoons outdoors.
Q. Does the color change in different light?
A. Yes. Many dupioni colors are woven with one color lengthwise and another across, so the silk shifts slightly as you move.
Q. Does it crease?
A. It creases at the elbows and back after sitting, as all dupioni does. Hang it after wearing and the creases soften; press with a cool iron through a cloth if needed.
Q. When would I wear it?
A. Weddings, celebrations, evenings and dinners. In a dark shade over a black top, it also works at the office.
Q. Which color is in the photos?
A. Silver. The selector shows every dupioni color on offer, from black to royal gold.
Q. Can I order a matching skirt or trousers?
A. Ask through the Ask a question about this piece form below Add to Cart. We will confirm what can be made in the same silk.
Q. Can I change the length or style?
A. Yes. Enter the length on the measurement form and write other changes, such as a notch lapel, in its comment box, or email us with your order number.
Q. Can I see the silk before ordering?
A. Yes. Dupioni colors shift in the light, so our swatch service sends up to four samples of about 2 by 4 inches. They usually arrive within 4 to 6 business days. Quote product number 2800005 and the colors you want to compare; the courier fee is credited toward your first order.
Q. How long will the silk blazer take?
A. The test blazer in cotton takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. The silk blazer then takes another 3 to 4 weeks plus the same delivery time.
Q. How do I care for it?
A. Dry clean only, and not often. Keep it on a shaped hanger, away from direct sunlight, which can fade bright silk over time.
