Description
This late 40's or early 1950's baby blue jacket is made of fine-textured wool, lightweight enough for spring and fall. It has a wonderful cape detail, draping below the shoulders in back and narrowing in front at the slit neckline. The cape section is embroidered with ivory stitching and trimmed with sparkling rhinestones, and rhinestones also trim the four blue plastic buttons. The shape of the jacket is fitted through the waist with darts, with a structured, curved peplum and large shoulder pads. The bracelet-length sleeves are cuffed. The right sleeve has some minor dinginess on the cuff and the left sleeve has a faint mark in back near the elbow (see photo). Also, the pale blue crepe lining has discolored at the shoulders (visible only when the jacket is inside out), probably from storage on a wooden hanger. In very good condition, this sweet jacket will look equally lovely with a pencil skirt or pants, or even over a simple dress.
