First Love Full Size Lurex Mixed Tweed One Button Blazer

How to measure

Use these steps to measure the blazer itself or to measure your body so you can choose the correct size.

Measuring the blazer (lay flat)

1. Chest (pit-to-pit): Button the blazer and lay it flat. Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other, about 1 cm below the armholes. Multiply this number by 2 to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer seam at one shoulder to the outer seam at the other shoulder.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (where sleeve meets shoulder) down to the end of the cuff.
4. Back length: Measure from the centre back at the base of the collar (nape) straight down to the hem.
5. Front length: Measure from the shoulder seam (near the neck) down to the front hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem from one side to the other and multiply by 2 for the circumference.

Measuring your body

1. Bust/Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust/chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally while measuring.
2. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips while standing with feet together.
4. Arm/sleeve length: For sleeve fit, measure from the shoulder point to the wrist while slightly bending the elbow for comfort allowance.

Tips: Record measurements in both centimetres (cm) and inches (in). Convert using 1 in = 2.54 cm. If you plan to layer thicker knits under the blazer, consider sizing up.

Materials

This style is described as a Lurex mixed tweed — a textured woven fabric with metallic (Lurex) yarns for subtle sparkle and structure. Typical components for this type of blazer include blended fibres; common elements are:

• Outer: Mixed tweed with metallic Lurex yarns (commonly a blend of polyester and viscose with metallic thread).
• Lining: Usually 100% polyester or a polyester blend for smoothness and comfort when layering.
• Trim & fastenings: Single button closure (metal or coated resin), internal pocket bags and seam finishes.
• Feel: Medium-weight, structured but with some drape; textured surface with metallic highlights.

Note: Exact fibre percentages and construction can vary by colour or production run — always check the garment care label for the definitive composition.

Model information

Studio model details are not included here. Example reference (please replace with your actual model data where available):

• Height: 175 cm / 5'9"
• Wearing size: S (example / UK 8)
• Example measurements: Bust 82 cm / Waist 62 cm / Hips 89 cm

Fit note: This is a one-button, slightly structured blazer designed for a classic tailored silhouette. It generally runs true to size; choose the next size up for extra layering space.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Dry clean recommended: Lurex and mixed tweeds are best maintained by professional dry cleaning to preserve metallic threads and structure.
• If hand washing is permitted: Use cold water and a gentle detergent, turn the blazer inside out, avoid wringing and lay flat to dry away from direct heat.
• Do not tumble dry. Avoid bleach or harsh detergents that can damage metallic fibres.
• De-wrinkling: Use a steamer from a short distance. If ironing is necessary, use low heat with a pressing cloth on the reverse side to protect the metallic yarns.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger to maintain shoulder shape. Store in a breathable garment bag if you’re keeping it long-term.
• Picks/snags: Do not pull on snagged threads — clip close to the fabric and seek repair if needed.
• Lotion/jewellery caution: Avoid direct contact with perfumes, body lotions, and sharp jewellery which can tarnish or catch metallic threads.
• Pilling & lint: Use a fabric shaver or soft clothes brush carefully on low settings.

Always follow the care label instructions on the garment first. When unsure, professional dry-cleaning is the safest option for mixed tweed with Lurex.

Style tips

• Office: Pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and a silk or cotton blouse for polished workwear.
• Casual: Wear over a plain tee and high-waisted jeans with loafers or clean trainers for an elevated everyday look.
• Evening: Layer over a slip dress or a sleek camisole and trousers; add delicate gold accessories to complement the metallic thread.
• Shape: Add a slim belt at the waist to create definition and convert the blazer into a chic jacket silhouette.
• Colour pairing: Neutrals (black, navy, cream) let the Lurex shine; pastels give a softer look; contrast with leather for edge.
• Seasonal: Layer with light knits in transitional months or wear over sleeveless dresses in warmer weather.
