This opulent opera coat embodies all the lavishness of the late 1920s era! It presents a sleek silhouette, accentuated by a drop waist button closure, a defining characteristic of the period's fashion trends. The three-quarter-length sleeves are elegantly styled with a balloon shape and delicate ruching, while the neckline features a tie detail that was originally adorned with luxurious fur trim. Sadly, only sparse tufts of fur remain along each edge, serving as a poignant reminder of its former glory. Lined in white silk.
Condition: The inside lining has a fair amount of discolouration and staining. Whilst this is not seen when worn, it is something to note. The outer velvet is in good condition with some general signs of wear as expected. There are also some mends to the inside lining armpits and hem.

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
