Vintage Jackie Kennedy style blue and white knit coat dress.

This rare vintage knee-length coat dress is in outwardly pristine condition. it has been worn and loved, but is an unmistakably fine work of craftsmanship. The synthetic fibers of the blue and white outer shell have held up well under many years of storage and use and are free of any staining. The cotton thread used in the seams of the dress deteriorated (as is usual of cotton threads over such a period of time) and were resewn about 15 years ago with polyester thread. there is no lining in the dress, and never has been to my knowledge. The coat however, has its original lining, which is somewhat fragile. Seams in the lining fabric around the armholes and pockets in the coat have ripped and are in want of repair. I am a seamstress by trade and can repair these for an additional cost of $135. A collector of vintages may rather have it remain unrepaired or the lining replaced entirely so I am making it available as is. It has no sizing so it was possibly a tailored fit. It fit me very nicely when I wore size 8. It is made of a thick knit material that has some degree of stretch. Not like the thin knits we have today, but enough to go over curves, without dipping into crevices. It lies incredibly smooth and has a uniquely put together appearance.
