50s 60s Vintage PURPLE Velvet Big Button Swing Coat M

$ 99.99
Sold Out!

What an incredibly lush shade of purple! The coat is simply styled - collarless, elbow length raglan sleeves, vertical bound handwarmer pockets, loose swingy fit. The curving self fabric neck scarf gives you styling options - it's 3.5" wide in the center and nearly 6" wide at both ends, where it tapers to points. The left end has a 2" wide bound buttonhole that can be used with the top button. The other end of the scarf can be draped under or over, with or without a decorative pin - I've shown a few options with one of my own rhinestone pins which is not included with the purchase. The scarf is attached at the back of the neck with a short thread cord - easy to snip loose if you want to wear it without.

Size: No size label. I usually wear a modern size 12, and the coat is a reasonable fit. I would estimate range of 8 to 12. But for best fit, compare the measurements to a similarly styled coat in your closet that fits you well.

Fabric/Colors

Velveteen, feels a little silky and has nice draping qualities, so I'm guessing that there may be a bit of rayon blended in with the cotton. Color is a stunning deep royal purple. Lining is rich satin in a redder shade of purple.

Closures

Three huge 2" diameter self fabric buttons with bound buttonholes.

Condition

Very good to excellent, no stains, holes, or tears seen. There is a gradual color turn of the purple lining to a pinker shade near bottom of coat
