50s Black and White Novelty Weave Swing Coat SM MED

Description

Just lovely. This is a vintage late 50s/early cocktail swing coat. At first glance it looks like houndstooth, but its not; its a gorgeous black and white novelty weave! No buttons or closures; the coat hangs open. The shawl collar is fitted with a floral brooch with a rhinestone center that is permanently sewn on. The back boasts a classy bow with three rhinestones at its center.

The sleeves balloon slightly and taper at the elbow with silver faux buttons. The buttons once housed little rhinestones but they are gone now. It does not take away from the glamour of the coat. Full black lining is in tact. Two side pockets. This is a wonderful addition to any vintage collection. Do not let it get away!
