1950's Vintage Gold Brocade Coat

This vintage coat is beautiful. Unfortunately, I have not been able to capture the beauty of the fabric. The material is a goldtone brocade with an all-over floral design. The colors in the design are soft peaches, blues, lavendars and yellows. Please see the close-up of the material. The coat is very full with a large shawl collar. The sleeves are 3/4 length and wide. The coat has a center front opening with no closures. It is fully lined in a goldtone material. Side seam pockets are deep and lined in the same fabric as the coat. There are no labels to the coat, but it is obviously well made. The coat will fit comfortably up to a 38" bustline. The coat is in very good condition, with only one very small hole which is not noticeable unless you really look for it, because of the goldtone lining. This coat would be at home for any formal occassion.

VERY LARGE SIZE!
Black/Gold Newer Vintage Leather Coat

This coat is of newer vintage, but a definate fashion statement! The coat is done in black suede leather with the collar and lapels done in gold lame with gold dot accents. The coat has padded shoulders and is cut straight. It has long lapels with a low two button closure. The buttons are bright goldtone. The coat has a low waistline and is a longer length (mid-calf). Two front pockets are incorporated into the dropped waistline seam. The coat is fully lined and has a long center back kick pleat. The collar and lapels really give this coat a boost. The material is similar to a gold lame and it is covered with small gold dot - similar to sequins. A few of these dots are missing, but because of the number, they are not really missed. The inside neck label reads, "Atlantic Beach Leather Coat Works". A side label reads, "Shell: 100% Genuine Leather; Lining: 50% Nylon and 50% Acetate". There is no size lable, but measurements are as follows: bustline=54"; waistline=54"; length (center back collar to hemline)=53". The coat is meant to be worn loose.

Circa 1870-1880's Woven Shawl

Lovely antique woven shawl dating to the mid 1800's. The shawl is square in shape and accented with fringe on all four sides. The colors are a rich goldtone, brown and a tad of rust. The pattern is a striped background decorated with patterned circles. It is a very interesting design. This vintage shawl has seen better days and there are some holes scattered throughout. Some of the fringe has worn away, but it is still a great display piece. The shawl measures approximately 64" square. The shawl belonged to, Dosha Smith Crawford, who lived in Oklahoma. Dosha was a "Sooner" in the Cimarron Run.

Elegant Victorian Opera Cape

This lovely white and pink silk and organza opera cape is so sweet and dainty! The vintage cape has long panels that fall to just below the knees. The cape is created by combining heavy orgnady and pink ribbons which are sewn together by hand. White silk sheer organdy ruffles adorn the neckline and each ruffled organdy silk panel. The front opening of the cape, including the long panels, have a hook/eye closure. Pretty black outlining is what truly makes this cape stand out. The black outlining accents the alternating strips of material used to creat the cape. The cape is lined with white silk and there is even a little pocket on the underside of the front left panel. The cape is entirely hand stitched and dates to approximately the 1890's. This era was the filly frou- frou period where extra fancy capes and caplets were proudly worn. The silk sheer organdy is very delicate - the cape could be worn with great care. The heavier organdy and pink fabric has pale, pale soft yellowing dots and some of these same dots are on the silk organdy. I would not wash this due to the delicate silk fabric that may break apart if water were to hit it. There are some holes in the silk organdy and along the bottom of the ruched panels and along the ruffles. This fabric is very delicate and this piece would be best used as a display item over a ballgown or dinner dress. I've never seen a pink and white opera cape such as this. It is in good condition with the exception of the sheer fabric's age and the pale dots. The yellowed spots almost looks like they are supposed to be a pattern, but they are just age spots. The total length of the cape is 36" long and the back measures approximately 14" long. The cape would fit a small to medium shoulder size.

Vintage Paisley Sequin Jacket

This colorful vintage jacket is sure to spruce up your holiday wardrobe! The background of the jacket is done in goldtones, ranging from yellow to tangerine. A paisley design done in red, green, blue and gold glittering threads, are scattered throughout the jacket. Clear, iridescent sequins are sewn all over the jacket. These sequins add lots of sparkle! The jacket has a rounded neckline and front opening. All of the edges of the jacket are accented with a thin gold trim. The sleeves are long and fitted. The jacket has a goldtone lining and padded shoulders. The neck label reads, "Farinae Collections". There is also a size 8 label. The jacket is in very good condition, but is missing some sequins (does not detract, as they are clear). There are also a few threads which are pulled, but again because of the array of colors, this is not detracting. The jacket is displayed on a dress form with a 36" bustline.
