1940s Black Rayon Faille Volup Coat with Bishop Sleeves – Leslie Raymond, London

An elegant 1940s Volup coat in black rayon faille, cut with a softly rounded shoulder and full bishop sleeves that draw in at the cuff. The fine ribbed weave of the faille gives the cloth a quiet sheen, and the shape does the rest, falling in a generous, easy line from a wide collar to a long hem. A fine braided trim follows the sleeve seam on each arm, the only decoration on an otherwise pared-back coat.

A single button at the neck keeps the front clean. It is a coat with real drama in its sleeves, and one that suits the unfussy tailoring London houses were known for in the decade.
