1950s Brilliant Blue Silk Satin Coat w Braided Detailing & a Startling Bright Green Lining

This coat has no designer label present but is extremely well made and very beautiful. It is cut with soft rounded shoulders and the sleeves are set wide and stop just past the elbows. The body of the coat is cut to sit very full on the body and flares out as it nears the hem. The outside is a bright clear blue and the silk is of a very high quality. Running down the front are three large coiled and braided knots that are made from the same bright silk. These run down the front of the coat under the small neat collar and add beautiful detailing. Within the centre of the braided loops is a little silk splash of brilliant green and it is only when you open the coat that you see that the lining is made out of the same bright green silk. Making that little touch of green on the front a brilliant detail. Even the sleeves are lined in the green so when you lift your arm you get a tiny flash of the green. The coat snaps to close with hidden snaps under the front panel so that when it is on and closed you get a beautiful unbroken line. It is a wonderful piece of unlabeled vintage that is high end piece and gorgeous. Excellent condition. 

Fully lined in a bright green silk and closes at the front with hidden silk covered snaps. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Hand finished and very well made
