Original Late 1940s 40s Volup Vintage Coral Wool Coat With Trapunto Quilting And Large Carved Buttons
This fabulous coat was made from a coral boucle wool in the late 1940s. It is cut in a classic swing coat style which hangs loosely from the gently padded shoulders. The bust is decorated with stunning trapunto quilting with gold embroidered centres. The small rounded collar leads to a single line of three large carved statement buttons that fasten the coat. There are functional slit pockets at the hips and at the back, a triangular yolk further enhances the shoulder line. Inside, the coat is lined in coral acetate and is without maker’s labels.
Bust: loose fitting but measures up to 48” due to dolman sleeves
Shoulders: 17 1/2” from edges of shoulder pads but would accommodate more due to dolman sleeves
Length: 44”
The coat is in very good condition, however there is some damage and discolouration to the lining but this cannot be seen when worn.
