Vintage 1990s Designer Sandy Starkman - White Silk and Antique Filet Lace Embroidered Bohemian Jacket -- S/M

Another stunning and beautifully made, boho embroidered silk and antique-looking cotton filet lace jacket by designer Sandy Starkman, well known for her exquisite unusual materials, layering of different elements, bohemian designs and embroideries. So beautiful and elegant, with extensive and intricate embroidery in black on a most unusual and exceptional spring/summer lightweight jacket of white silk organza layered over delicate cotton filet lace (this looks so antique!), with rayon lace insets. The jacket itself is intricate in pattern and configuration, with a separate waistband and tucks in the organza on the front and back yoke, and elaborate piecing of the rayon lace along the sleeves. Very ingenious design that is rather similar in style/pattern to the classic silhouette of short denim jackets, which appears often in Starkman designs. This would be so fabulous over a little black slipdress! The black embroidery is ornate and gorgeous, all over the front, sleeve ends and the back----unique! Lovely condition, no size tag but measures as an M.

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.

No size tag but measures as an M, would work for a SM too; please check measurements!
Chest measures 40" on the OUTSIDE, closed. (Inside will be smaller by at least 1") I would suggest wearer have no larger than a 36-38" bust.
Waist: 38"
Sleeves are 24" from shoulder to cuff edge.
Length is 21" from shoulder to hem; Mannequin is approx. 5' 6" and a modern size 6/8, the jacket fits the mannequin nicely with a little room to spare so in my opinion a modern size 6/8, maybe 10 depending on how snug one wants the fit, would fit this best (but carefully check measurements to be sure!)

Condition: Beautiful vintage condition, no rips, spots, stains or other damages , has a Sandy Starkman tag. Please be sure to view the other gorgeous Sandy Starkman jackets I will be listing!
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).
