This is a fabulous evening coat made of alternating vertical panels of heavy black silk and grosgrain. This coat came from the estate of a lady who owned a lot of 50s era French couturier pieces. Although there is no label on this piece, the quality of it is obvious and it must have been made by a very good maker. The panels widen down the length of the coat, giving the coat its fabulous form. The coat has ¾ length raglan sleeves and is fully lined in purple taffeta. This is really an exceptional evening coat.
There is no label.

The coat is in very good condition – no wear, tear, stains or odors, but it needs a tiny stitch on the seam in one spot (see last close-up photo). This coat was well stored and cared for over the years.
This is a wonderful 50s period coat – incredible style and quality!
