Women's 50s Vintage Jacket Emerald Green Fitted Silk Shantung Double Breasted Medium VFG
This vintage 1950s jacket is just gorgeous, and looks so expensive! Slim curving princess lines, more curves at the bust with angled darts, large collar, longer length that adds to the slimming effect. Lots of rich lady tailoring details, like bound buttonholes, pockets inset into the princess seams, darting at the elbows and pleating at the back of the lining for ease.

FABRIC/COLORS: Gleaming silk shantung in an incredibly rich shade of emerald green. Fully lined in muted turquoise blue crepe.
TAG: No tags at all, I believe this was probably hand tailored, at an expert level.
CLOSURES: Double breasted, anchored inside by fabric covered snaps and outside by a row of three self fabric covered buttons, balanced by a second row of decorative buttons on the other side.
CONDITION: Excellent. No stains, holes, tears or other issues noted.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
