Vintage 1940s Cheongsam Jacket Iridescent Silk Hand Embroidery Chinese Coat 40s Cocktail Pinup
$125.81
Unworn Vintage 1940s hand made and quilted cocktail jacket with frog fastenings, front pockets, bracelet sleeves and generous swing or swagger back. This is a most gorgeous jacket, perfect to team with a cocktail dress, pencil skirt or pedal pushers, something to place around the shoulders when the nights are a little cool, when a coat will not do.
The fabric is 100% silk originating from China the quilting is lambs wool.
The fabric must have cost an absolute fortune in the early 1940s, when the jacket was originally made
The garment is unsized. I have taken the measurements when the garment was laid flat, please compare against a similar garment for the correct fit
