Vintage Cropped Black Silk Evening Jacket – Rhinestone Closure

This vintage black evening jacket dates to the late 1960s and is made in a structured silk fabric with a subtle textured weave, likely silk ottoman or silk repp. The jacket features a collarless neckline, cropped waist-length cut, and a decorative rhinestone hook closure with fabric tie front. The interior is fully lined in peach satin, indicating it was designed as formal evening or cocktail wear.

This type of cropped evening jacket was commonly worn over sleeveless cocktail dresses or evening gowns during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The clean, minimalist silhouette and structured silk fabric are characteristic of mid-century formalwear.
