Description

Blue panne zibeline and white cloth were effectively united in the smart coat here represented, the decoration consisting of a black-and-gold braid and fancy buttons.

The blousing fronts are tucked and have vest sections of the white inserted, and the tucks at the back taper toward the belt.

A Louis XV skirt in regulation or short, three-quarter length may be added, and the tucks stitched to the lower edge or any desired depth.

A shawl collar-facing affords stylish neck completion, and epaulet capes broaden the shoulders, either plain or slashed.

A choice is offered for two styles of sleeves, both being of fanciful design; the “1830” sleeve consist of sections joined in tuck effect and finished with tab cuffs, while those of bishop shaping are tucked to the elbow and droop over cuffs. Either cuff may be omitted. However, the band provides completion of the coat.

This coat is especially desirable as part of a costume.
