What would you refer to this as? Buttons to waist, then split. A friend suggested shirtwaister. And is it 90s? It's like a thick polyester blend - felt-like. Haven't tested the material just yet. Thanks!
probably a jacket - being split to the waist means it was worn over another garment, probably a matching dress or trousers. I would put it in the late 1960s-70s area. The trim is fairly recognisable as from those eras, as well as the fabric, which looks as though it could be crimplene.
