This is a 1960s era ladies’ silk brocade coat originally meant for evening wear.  This silk brocade coat is made with a standing collar, squared and padded shoulders, nine button front closure (although the top and the bottom two buttons are missing) and slant side pockets.  The coat is cut with a slight flare to the above-the-ankle length hemline.  The interior is fully lined in violet coloured acetate.  The exterior fabric on this silk brocade coat is lightweight, and there is no interlining, so this is meant for cool temperatures only, not cold. 

Label: None, this silk brocade coat is probably seamstress made - still, very well done

Fabric:  No label, but I’m fairly certain that this is silk - obvious quality. Colours: Matte silver white, with glossy brown and white detail

Sizing: There is no size label on this silk brocade coat, and although this should fit a medium to large size, please rely on the following measurements for fit:

Shoulders:  15” across the shoulder seams

Sleeves:  23” from the shoulder seam

Sleeve Inseam:  16”

Bust: 39” around 

Waist: 35” around

Hips:  39” around

Hemline:  54” around

Length:  48”, measured flat at the back from the neck seam

Condition:  Aside from the missing buttons, this silk brocade coat is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, just a few loose threads and a bit of wear at the left armpit, very minor.  Otherwise, this coat has no soiling or staining.  You might want to replace all the buttons, although the coat could easily be used as is.

This is a very nice quality silk brocade coat - well made, this is an attractive 60s era evening coat that can be used casually today!
