This elegant vintage evening jacket from the Aurora Ruffolo and Christian Ruperto label is truly stunning! The jacket comprises three layers: an interior solid black fabric, a second layer of black with gold lurex and little gold paillettes (flat sequins), and a third layer of an almost invisible black chiffon integrated with which are the gorgeous velvet floral patterns. These three layers are channel quilted together. All of the exterior fabric edges are finished with gold lame piping. The jacket has a standing collar and a full-length zipper for closure. Its exemplary quality is also apparent on the interior: all cut fabric edges are cased, and the armholes are reinforced. No fabric label is present, but as far as I can tell, the fabrics are silk and/or silk blends. Sizing charts indicate that it is about a modern size Medium, or 8-10. The actual measurements provide best quidance regarding size.

Seller's Note: I wasn't able to find biographical information about this duo, except it appears that Christian Ruperto established a separate label at some point and is now the designer for Alta Moda. The examples of Christian Ruperto designs I've recentlu discovered are exquisite in both materials and craftsmanship.
