This mesmerising 1960's tonal cream brocade coat accented by a raised textural matelasse floral pattern, is the perfect statement piece to add to your collection.
The rounded neckline, is framed by a simple pointed edge turned down collar, which draws in centrally with a matching brocade covered button and a concealed press stud. The simple shoulder line, is accented by tailored darts along each yoke. The full length inset sleeves, frame the fitted bodice, which boasts central matching covered button fastenings. The elegant A line drape of the skirt-line, conceals pockets along either side of the hiplines. The back of the coat is decorated with a curved back waist belt feature, in matching cream brocade, finish with a central bow, which sits above subtle gathered pleats, which drape along the length of the back of the skirt line.
