About The Hourglass Blazer.

The Hourglass Blazer is a made-to-measure black blazer built for shape. It has peak lapels, structured shoulders, an asymmetric wrap front that gathers into a soft twist at the waist, and princess seaming front and back that pulls everything into a sharp hourglass. The two angled buttons hold the wrap closed; flap pockets and four-button cuffs keep it grounded in real tailoring. It is the kind of blazer you can wear to a Sydney office, a Melbourne dinner, a Perth launch, or a Brisbane workday when you want something polished, confident, and unmistakably cut for you. The office-siren shape gives it presence; the stretch suiting keeps it wearable all day. Because it is cut to your measurements, the shoulder, bust, waist suppression, sleeve length, and overall length can all be adjusted for petite, tall, curvy, plus-size, and in-between bodies. No standard sizing. No warehouse stock. Just one blazer, made after you order.

Things people ask about The Hourglass Blazer.

Q01What is The Hourglass Blazer?

The Hourglass Blazer is a made-to-measure black blazer with peak lapels, an asymmetric wrap front gathered at the waist, princess seaming front and back, flap pockets, and four-button cuffs. Each blazer is cut to your measurements and sewn one at a time by a vetted MadeApt tailor.

Q02Is The Hourglass Blazer made to measure?

Yes. The Hourglass Blazer is not made in standard sizes. After ordering, you can provide your measurements through our guided measurement process, or we can help you confirm them before production begins. Your blazer is then cut specifically for your body.

Q03What fabric is The Hourglass Blazer made from?

The Hourglass Blazer is made from a smooth matte stretch wool suiting. It holds a sharp tailored line while keeping enough give for the close, body-shaping fit.

Q04How much does The Hourglass Blazer cost?

The Hourglass Blazer is $280 AUD in the black stretch wool suiting. The price reflects the made-to-measure cut, the structured wrap construction, and single-piece production by a vetted MadeApt tailor. Specialty fabrics or design changes may change the final price.

Q05Is this an office-siren blazer?

Yes. The Hourglass Blazer is cut in the office-siren spirit — sharp peak lapels, a wrapped and gathered waist, and a strongly nipped hourglass shape. It reads as confident and polished rather than boxy or oversized.

Q06Can I customise The Hourglass Blazer?

Yes. You can customise the lapel shape, shoulder structure, waist suppression, sleeve length, overall length, buttons, fabric, and colour. You can also use MadeApt's design tools to explore variations before ordering. Some changes may affect the final price or lead time.

Q07Is the waist really that fitted?

The blazer is designed with a sharply nipped waist and princess seaming for an hourglass silhouette. Because it is made to your measurements, the waist can be taken in further or relaxed to suit how fitted you want it to feel.

Q08Is The Hourglass Blazer good for office wear?

Yes. It is designed for polished office wear, meetings, presentations, launches, and city dressing. Wear it closed as a statement piece, or open over a fitted top and tailored trousers.

Q09Is it suitable for Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, or Adelaide?

Yes. The Hourglass Blazer works well for Australian city dressing — polished enough for a Sydney office, sharp enough for a Melbourne dinner, confident enough for a Perth launch, and easy to layer for Brisbane or Adelaide evenings. The stretch suiting is well suited to mild and transitional weather.

Q10Is The Hourglass Blazer available in plus sizes and other body shapes?

Yes. Because it is made to your measurements rather than a fixed size chart, it can be cut for petite, tall, curvy, plus-size, fuller-busted, broader-shouldered, longer-torso, and in-between bodies. The shoulder, bust, waist, and length are all shaped to you.

Q11Who makes The Hourglass Blazer?

Your blazer is made by a vetted tailor in the MadeApt artisan network. We do not mass-produce or hold warehouse stock. Each blazer is made individually, by a real maker, after your order and measurements are confirmed.

Q12How long does it take to make?

Made-to-measure blazers usually take longer than off-the-rack clothing because they are cut and sewn individually. Lead time depends on fabric availability, tailor capacity, and how quickly your measurements are confirmed. You will see the estimated timing before checkout.

Q13Can I change the fabric or colour?

Yes. Depending on availability you may be able to choose a different wool, suiting, crepe, colour, or button style. Fabric changes can affect the structure, drape, price, and lead time of the final blazer.

Q14What can I wear it with?

The Hourglass Blazer works with tailored trousers, wide-leg pants, a pencil or tartan skirt, a slip dress, or dark denim. Closed, it doubles as a top with trousers. For evening, pair it with satin pants or a sleek skirt and heels.
