1950s Black Floral Jacquard Maxi Dress Coat
Description
An elegant and very early 1950s maxi-dress coat which I have no doubt retailed in one of the finest US department stores of the day and is very possibly a designer piece. Tailored from the most beautiful fabric - textured black jacquard dotted with metallic flowers in pink and yellow - it has a wonderfully feminine cut. A nipped-in waist and full, softly pleated skirt creates a flattering silhouette. It has a wide curved collar which gives way to double-breasted buttons carved from black plastic. The front of the coat is detailed with two welt pockets and the sleeves are finished with turn-up cuffs. The coat is lined with bright candy pink satin in the torso.
The coat is in excellent vintage condition but alas has lost all its labels so please check the below measurements as the fabric has no stretch. We believe it would best fit up to size UK 10-12, US 6-8.
