Beautifully designed with a generous, flowing silhouette and a dramatic convertible collar, the coat has the luxurious appearance of formal evening outerwear from the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coat is fashioned in rich, deep burgundy or wine-coloured velvet with a soft, lustrous pile, most likely cotton velvet. It has a loose, flared silhouette with raglan-style sleeves that provide a relaxed fit through the shoulders and body, allowing it to be worn comfortably over evening dresses and formal gowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most distinctive feature is the \u003cb\u003elarge, sculptural collar\u003c\/b\u003e, which can be arranged in different ways. Worn down, it forms a broad, draped shawl-style collar, secured at the neckline with a single decorative button in a coordinating red tone. Turned upward, the collar creates a dramatic, high, almost hood-like surround to the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coat \u003cb\u003efastens with just one button at the neckline\u003c\/b\u003e, with the remainder of the front left to hang freely, creating an elegant, flowing effect. This open-front construction is particularly well suited to an evening or opera coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is fully lined in beautiful \u003cb\u003erust-red satin\u003c\/b\u003e, providing a striking contrast to the deep burgundy velvet. The sleeves are generously cut, and the hemline is finished with several rows of decorative stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no maker's or fabric-content labels. The coat appears to have been custom or seamstress made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn understated yet dramatic vintage evening coat, equally suited to formal occasions or contemporary styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEra:\u003c\/b\u003e Most likely 1950s, possibly early 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColour:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep burgundy \/ wine red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFabric:\u003c\/b\u003e Velvet; most likely cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLining:\u003c\/b\u003e Rust-red satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCollar:\u003c\/b\u003e Large convertible shawl \/ stand-up collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSleeves:\u003c\/b\u003e Long raglan-style sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClosure:\u003c\/b\u003e Single decorative button at neckline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLabel:\u003c\/b\u003e None; possibly custom made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoulders: 17\" across, estimated due to raglan\/dolman sleeve construction\u003cbr\u003eSleeves: 30\" long\u003cbr\u003eSleeve inseam: 17\"\u003cbr\u003eBust: 44\"\u003cbr\u003eWaist: 46\"\u003cbr\u003eHips: 50\"\u003cbr\u003eHemline circumference: 68\"\u003cbr\u003eOverall length: 41\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good condition.
