Condition:

Great vintage Condition very wearable

*Some sun bleaching on the lining. Doesn't affect Velvet

*being so old the bemsilk lining has shrank and part of the lining was shorter than its supposed to be and if sewn in would curl the jacket under causing it to look funny....so I have left the very back hem lining loose. It doesnt hang down cant be seen unless the jacket is not being worn. Pictures included

Velvet is in great condition and frog closure is strong.

Measurements and size:

ATTN:

1)The measurements here are recorded with the item flat, un-stretched, given in inches. I provide measurements of my items (un-stretched) for you, however, it is suggested to add ease for comfort. Fitting ease will allow you to be able to breathe, move your arms, bend your elbows, sit, walk, and even dance! Ease varies depending on what part of the body you are clothing, but generally it is between ½”-2”. If you want your garment to be a ‘pin-up' tight fit, make sure it's close to your own body measurements, adding 1 or 2 inches in the bust  waist and hip areas. If you want it to fit loosely, add more room as needed.

2) YOUR MEASUREMENTS:   It is suggested you use the measurements of your own body to help with the accuracy of how the garment will fit. If you don't have a measuring tape, use a ruler to measure a similar garment that fits you high quality well.

ABOUT VINTAGE: Disclaimer:
Please understand that vintage clothing and vintage fabric have age to it, and even when in excellent condition, they show wear. They are not new items. Even the most cared for vintage items of clothing is likely to have some wear and tear and vintage pieces can commonly have tiny spots/marks, fading/yellowing, or pin holes.  I attempt to present all damage by describing and photographing it but sometimes little things get by me.
