Outstanding 1950s Vintage Opera Coat Crushed Black Velvet Size S/M

Sumptuous, dramatic and elegant are all words that can be used to describe this glorious crushed black velvet fabric you'll never find today. The dense velvet is ultra plush giving this beautiful floor-length opera coat a heavier weight. The metal buttons are covered with black glass stones, also possessing a substantial weight. There are five buttons in all, three that snap closed on the front with a hidden snap at the collar and two for display on the back. The coat has two pockets and is lined in thick white satin.

There is no label but it's exceptionally well-made and most likely came with a hefty price tag in it's day.

Condition is very good overall with a few minor issues to note. There are some small spots on the velvet that can be felt, not many at all and they're impossible to see especially with the nap of the velvet. The lining has an area of faint staining on the upper mid-center (about 3" in diameter and couldn't be photographed clearly) and on the very bottom edge of the hemline (about 4" across - sorry no photo, it was just noticed). Please note, this coat hasn't been cleaned and I'm pretty sure these issues can all be remedied although even as is, it could be worn immediately. The second button is slightly loose but is still well-secured. There isn't a hint of fading as you can see in the photos, the bold color is magnificent.

Size is approx. small to a smaller medium but please note the measurements to ensure a proper fit.
