The overcoat is cut to be worn over winter clothing, perhaps a suit.

The collar is shawl and stylised with faux astrakhan.
There are roomy hidden slip pockets at the hip and an internal hidden pocket within the silk lining
Pristine and freshly dry cleaned. The coat is lined throughout in a black silk satin with a self polka dot design.
The Coat is free of age marks, thinning or repairs, and the cuffs and edges of the coat are free of wear.
The sleeves are quite broad at the top and the shoulders are exquisitely square, having padding.
The bodice is fitted into the waist, at the back-there are 6 fantail panels then the fabric falls away in generous folds, there is darting providing a soft fit and giving a very understated fishtail.
