This is a wonderful vintage 1940s ladies coat made of pebble finished black wool. This vintage 1940s ladies coat has heavily padded shoulders and shoulder tucks, which hide the shoulder/sleeve join seam. The coat has a kimono neckline and does up with three shiny black plastic buttons, one at the neck and two lower down the front - the top one does not match the lower two although it is similar. There is a pocket built into either side and there is a 17” kick pleat at the back. It is fully lined in black satin and has satin shoulder straps that hold the coat in place on the body. This vintage 1940s ladies coat was very large on my mannequin so perhaps does not present itself as well as if it were to fit properly.
Label: No label present
