1940s Black Velvet Evening Cape with Great Shoulders Dramatic. Look at those shoulders! This early 1940s, possibly late 1930s black rayon velvet cape is lined in cream taffeta. The shoulder emphasis is great, but there are no shoulder pads. The collar and decorative shoulder bands are also the velvet with multiple rows of topstitching. Both are stiffened as well. The cape closes at the front with a period silver tone clasp with red rhinestones. There are arm slits at the side fronts. Label: none Size: Bust: up to 38" with lots of ease, Shoulders: approx.15" to 16",CB Neck to 48", Hem Sweep: 72" Condition: Excellent. Very few signs of wear, the nap is good, there is one small hole covered by the clasp. It appears the side back seams may have been re-stitched at some point as I see a few needle marks along them. Price: $95 |

Sophisticated c. 1914 Chiffon and Velvet Opera Coat in Camel and Blue I love the color combination on this opera coat from that grand estate. Camel silk chiffon with a blue damask pattern combined with camel silk velvet. It's lovely. The coat is a dolman cut, with a low waist and blouson body over a smooth skirt that curves up to the front. The sleeves are elbow length, all the better to show off your evening gloves. The chiffon is layered over a silk interlining, then the satin lining inside. The cuffs and neckline are finished with pleated frills of aqua blue and camel chiffon. The neckline also has fur. The front closes with a hook and eye under the knotted cord medallion. Labels: none Size: Bust: 52", Low Waist: 48", Sleeves from CB of neck to hem: 23", Center Back to Hem: 48" Condition: The chiffon and velvet are Excellent. You can see through the chiffon to the interlining of course, and this interlining has splitting. The interior lining is solid. The frills at the neck have many losses. The interior lining at the cuffs has a 3" wide band that has losses as well. Price: $295 |
