Description

Divine vintage 1940s dark-red, silk-velvet evening jacket by Miller’s Exclusive Smart Wear of Chicago.

A rare example of the 1940s or possibly slightly earlier evening jacket in the most beautiful dark red silk velvet. So rich and luxurious to touch.

Fitted styling with two panels on each side at the front and four panels at back. The shoulders have subtle padding.

1940s silk velvet evening jacket has three buttons closing at front. Each velvet-covered button has a small rhinestone in the centre.
The revere collar is finished off with a darling little rhinestone broach in the shape of some sort of insect. There are three faux pocket flaps on each hip. The back placket is also finished with 5 tiny velvet-covered buttons. Lined with dark-red silk.

Please note The vintage 50s white blouse this jacket is photographed with is not included in the price but is for sale separately.
