I bought this off of Jonathan over a year ago, and it has come time to part with it....
I need a date though. The fabric is like a fine wool crepe.
Although it isn't easily seen, it has a horizontal seam about
6 inches from the hem, which creates a suggestion of
a peplum. Fully lined, with smallish, hard (cotton batting?)
shoulder pads between lining and outer shell.
Although this is a 40s style, the label is not right, and Jonathan is pretty sure it is a later date. I have searched
both Google and Vivisimo, and the current Schiap site
doesn't sell garments like this (sells, t-shirts, scarves, perfume, etc). Schiap went bankrupt in 1954 and
closed shop. Have found several conflicting dates on when
the company under her name reopened - late 70s and
early 80s, and then again in 90s....however there is apparently only a small office at the Paris address which
is tied to the US larger operation.

I would like to list this tonight, but am totally baffled on this
one.
