Exquisite Original 1940s Vintage Aubergine Purple Velvet Fit And Flare Princess Coat
This fabulous princess coat was made in the 1940s from sumptuous aubergine purple velvet.

A stunning and unusual double dagger collar adds a gorgeous design detail and turn up cuffs finish off the sleeves perfectly. Six buttons fasten the coat at the front and delicate pleating on each hip adds wonderful volume and movement to the flared skirt. Inside, the coat is lined in pink rayon faille and has a National Recovery Board label.
