Vintage 1950s Swing Coat Black Rayon Faille Embroidered Spring Coat Cee Dee USA Size L

This vintage 1950s swing coat by Cee-Dee is a classic example of early mid-century American outerwear design, featuring a dramatic trapeze silhouette, dolman sleeves, and a wide shawl collar. The coat dates to approximately 1952–1955 based on its silhouette, construction, and the National Recovery Board Consumers Protection label inside.

The fabric appears to be a black rayon ribbed faille with a raised embroidered swirl pattern that adds texture and subtle sheen. The coat is fully lined in a pink satin rayon lining with atomic-style printed motifs typical of early 1950s textiles.

This coat is designed in the classic swing or trapeze style, meant to hang loosely and elegantly over dresses or suits, a defining silhouette of early 1950s fashion. The generous cut and flowing back give the coat beautiful movement when worn.

The National Recovery Board Suit & Coat Industry label indicates the garment was produced under regulated labour standards in the United States, a label used from the late 1930s through the early 1960s, though the styling places this coat firmly in the early 1950s period.

This is a wearable and collectible mid-century vintage coat with classic New Look era styling.
