Vintage Dark Brown Velvet Women’s Jacket size 8

This is a custom made velvet warm deep chocolate brown evening jacket from the late 50s or early 60s, made for a Hollywood actress of those days. The lining of a lighter brown silk (I assume it is silk but cannot say with certainty) is hemmed beautifully by hand, as is the side stitching. It is mostly an open jacket though a sturdy cloth covered hook and eye closes it discreetly at the neck from the inside. No flaws I can see except the fabric appears a tiny bit worn on outside of hook. I only noticed this from the photograph very close up. (See photos) The jacket is understated, elegant, sexy in its simplicity) Please see measurements below for a more accurate fit. Armpit to armpit 18” Length 21” Sleeve from shoulder to end of cuff 18”
