This is a vintage 1950s purple velvet evening coat.  This 1950s purple velvet evening coat has padded shoulders and a large shawl collar that covers the shoulders and upper back - the collar is pleated along the shoulders.  It has no closures, so simply folds over at the front.  It has full cut sleeves that taper slightly to the cuff and the coat is cut to flare out to the hemline.  It has a slash pocket at either side.  The coat is fully lined in silver grey woven satin fabric.  The coat would provide some warmth  but isn’t meant for cold weather use - it really is meant to be used an evening coat.

Label:  None.  This 1950s purple velvet evening coat looks like it was manufactured, but it could have been custom made by a couturier, very well made.
