Just a quick post to share the amazing treasure I found today!!!
Look at this beautiful late 1930s, early 1940s velvet and satin formal coat.
Mint condition soft black velvet, and lined with ivory satin. The shoulders are dramatically puffed, and there is a big soft hood, too! This was probably owned by a very well-to-do lady, as this is no ordinary day-to-day coat. It is teeny-tiny, and hardly fits on my size 1 mannequin.
I don’t think I’m going to be selling this one in my shop- it is such a treasure, I’m going to keep it as a display piece to go along with my slowly growing collection of 1930s shoes and gowns.
I just wanted to share so we could all collectively SWOON over it!! Not the best photos, I'll take some more tomorrow in the sunshine.
