This long lightweight vintage velvet evening coat belonged to my aunt whose heyday was in the 30's and 40's. She wore this when going out on the town for dinner & dancing. It is unique in its design as it has a nifty hood. Nice for keeping your hairstyle intact.
Height is 54" from the back of the neck to the bottom edge. Sleeves are 27" long. Shoulder to shoulder is 18". I would guess this is a size 4 or 6 but will let you determine that. It is lined with a smooth & satiny champagne-colored lining. There are no manufactures' or cleaning instructions labels.
As I do believe in transparency, please note that it does have a few condition issues which someone who is handy with sewing can remedy. #1), there is an area on the back where two panels meet, which need to be resewn. Fabric is not torn; instead the seam's thread is worn. #2), one of the front closing loops needs to be reattached. #3), Given its age, the coat's lining should be professionally cleaned because of normal use and perspirations. #4) There are two areas at the bottom inside lining which are a bit dirty.
Because it is such a deep dark midnight black it was a bit difficult to take precise photos. Photos #1 to #8 are representative of the true black. Photos #9 to #11 were taken with a bright flash to better display the repair needed and the lovely fluid velvet drapery. View all photos carefully to examine the aforementioned details. Ask any questions you may have. NO returns. Smoke-free home. $25 firm.
