1950s Homemade Black Jacket with Cotton Guipure Lace
A sweet and simple 1950s jacket that appears to have been lovingly homemade. Crafted from a silky, medium-weight fabric with a slight sheen, it has a grosgrain-like texture, accented with cut-out shoulder details made from cotton guipure lace. The jacket features 3/4 length sleeves, pretty clear buttons, and a V-shaped collar.
Condition: Very good. There is a small mend on the right breast area, as well as a few nips and grazes to the fabric. Some of the stitching along the hem is a little crooked and crazy.
