Rendered in the most vibrant shade of red rayon satin, in a timeless and iconic silhouette, this original 1950's vintage swing coat is sure to be a favourite in your vintage collection.
The V shaped neckline is framed by a wide shawl collar, which joins the front of the coat in an edge to edge cut. The simple shoulder line, sets off the 3/4 length inset balloon sleeves, which are accented by fitted cuff details , from which the gathered pleats radiate creating an almost architectural design. The A line cut of the coat, sets off the wonderful swing sweep, completing this piece in a truly timeless silhouette. This coat has pockets along either side of the hipline, and is lined in red rayon.
