Stunning and beautifully made, NEW without tags, boho embroidered coat by designer Victor Costa. So beautiful and elegant, with extensive floral embroidery all down the front, sleeves and around the mandarin collar. Princess styling and a shaped A-line fit, with bound-edge pockets and loop/button front closures down the entire front. Fabric is a substantial, woven heavy cotton or cotton/rayon blend (cannot find a fiber content tag but based on observation/analysis) Fully lined. Gorgeous bohemian piece!
IMPORTANT: PLEASE, please be sure to read ALL of the description especially the measurements and condition, and examine ALL the photos, BEFORE asking questions; and do be absolutely positive this piece will fit your requirements, as there are no refunds or returns. I'm a degreed and experienced textile scientist/antique garment restorer and seamstress, and I very, very carefully note any and all condition issues or repairs to every piece of antique/vintage clothing that I'm selling, so I can't stress enough that even if they're in pristine condition, remember they are all decades old and NOT new clothing, so if you desire modern perfection please don't purchase vintage! I don't do layaways or take offers, so please don't ask, thank you. Jewelry/accessories/props in photos are not included and not for sale.
I love antique and vintage clothing and have collected it for years, as well as having a longtime design career including doing costume & restoration work for major movie studios and museums....I've translated that love to my own contemporary creations as well as now offering some choice pieces of my extremely large collection of vintage and antique beauties! I'm meticulous about clothing in general so I make quite sure that every piece of vintage clothing I sell is clean, fresh, pressed and in excellent wearable condition---I do not use any fragranced or heavily-chemical products in caring for/cleaning garments and they are carefully stored in climate-controlled closets at all times except for when I am photographing them for listings. This is a NON SMOKING environment and always has been--I do not sell anything that has any kind of odor, nor do I ship clothing stuffed into shipping bags; I use new USPS boxes ONLY and carefully fold/wrap everything in new tissue paper.
Does not have a size tag, but it fits like an L or M/L; please check measurements!
Chest measures 48" on the OUTSIDE, closed. (Inside will be smaller by at least 1") I would suggest wearer have no larger than a 44-45" bust.
Sleeves are 24" from shoulder to cuff edge.
Length is 38" from shoulder to hem; Mannequin is approx. 5' 6" and a modern size 6/8, the coat is way too loose on the mannequin so in my opinion a modern size 14/16 would fit this best (but check measurements to be sure!)
Condition: Beautiful, new without tags, no rips, spots, stains or other damages that I can see, has a Victor Costa Occasions tag. This is cotton pique with a touch of spandex for comfortable fit. Very nice quality woven fabric with gorgeous embroidery! Fully lined in either rayon or silk. Please be sure to view the other Costa embroidered coat in white that I have also listed!
Please make sure this will suit you as to measurements and style before you purchase; I don't do alterations or accept returns.....Also, please be sure to read my shop policies/shipping info in full before you purchase (click on "policies" on my main shop page).
