Well, it was the fabric and Saks fifth Ave label that appealed to me, when I found this, in the 90's , but any time I come across a formal or "opera" coat, I grab it, because they are rare, esp. ones from the 60s. Only the union label and Saks label in this warm formal coat, but I am confident of the date due to the style of collar and cut of the pockets. The lining is thick and synthetic...much like quilt batting, so warm for a night out to the Metropolitan Opera, in the winter. Sleeves are short, but meant to be worn with long gloves. Perfect for a winter formal occasion of any kind. The tailoring is timeless, and will work with any era gown. No closures, but a hook or two can always be added. The size is probably M-L, but go by measurements. measurements:
Shoulder Span: 18"
length: 51"
Bust: 58"
waist and hips: open
sleeves: 3/4 length
