Stunning bespoke vintage brown velvet paisley opera coat

Bespoke brown velvet paisley with orange tones that catch the light Draped A-line silhouette Back draping is gathered into a deep curved yoke Quilted heavy cotton velvet for warmth Large, ornately carved, silver-tone button Cuffed sleeves Padded raglan shoulders will fit different shoulder widths, within reason Armpit is dropped down almost to the waist, to accommodate any kind of outfit underneath Black lining with a felted backing The fabric is GORGEOUS - the pictures do not do it justice. If this had fit me, it would have been added to my collection. In immaculate condition Could be turned into a spring/fall/early winter coat by adding more buttons - I would suggest two unmatched but equally large buttons, giving it three unmatched buttons, each with its own personality Size: opera coats were either fitted or voluminous over the decades, but I feel this would best fit Medium or Large (it was tried on by a size 12 woman and fit like a regular coat). Check measurements and consider if you want to wear it oversized or fitted. Shoulder width: undefined, but seems to fall best at 16.5" Back width (P2P): 24" without pulling the pleats open Sleeve length: 23" to "24, depending on your shoulder width Length from nape: 40" Tags: vintage, opera, velvet, bespoke, custom, draped, midi, paisley, brown, chocolate, evening, event, spring, fall, early winter, dramatic, mobwife
