Description
This 1930s evening jacket is made of silky-soft black rayon velvet that drapes beautifully. It fastens at the neck with wide "ascot" ties. The jacket has two layers: the sleeveless under-layer (rather like a vest that is visible as the longer section) and the cape-like over-layer that is gathered into soft ruffles extending from the v-shaped seam at the center back and over and around each arm at the elbow. The jacket is lined with black rayon satin and is in very good condition, with some all-over light marks to the surface of the velvet and one larger, more visible, crush mark at the center back. This mark is more visible in our photos than it is in person, as it is only seen if the light hits it just right. Our last photo of the back of the jacket was taken using a flash to better simulate normal lighting. The mark is nearly invisible. This elegant jacket would make a perfect, lightweight layer over your favorite sleeveless cocktail or evening dress.
