- Black taffeta evening coat, lined in crepe, with gorge wide collar and slightly shorter sleeves with turn back cuffs.. Can anyone place the date? Around the New Look era? Also, what is the style of coat called, with flared back? There's also some foxing to the outer fabric, is there anything that can be done about that? I thought I'd try a gentle steam and brush..
2nd- Really soft teddybear fabric (woven not modern knitted/jersey type) double breasted coat, again flaring from the waist- makes a lovely swish! Lined in partly-quilted satin, what date would be put on it? It was sold to me as 60s, but my Mum, who's in textiles, thinks it may be earlier..
3rd- Cream mohair feel jacket from Rebere of Mayfair, no fastenings, large turn-up cuffs that would have fastened with buttons but they're missing.. Satinized label, does anyone know when they became widely used?
Thanks everyone!
