I found this coat in a thrift store and I would like some help dating it because I absolutely have no experience in vintage. It was so cheap and so beautiful at the same time that I really could not resist buying it! The coat has no label. The fabric is maybe shantung silk or maybe a blend. I'm saying this because I have a shantung silk coat and the fabric is similar. The fabric is strong. The buttons are quite peculiar. I would say the coat dates back to the '60s. My guess is also that it was either homemade or made to order by a seamstress. What do you think? Please, note that I bought it in Italy so, maybe, fashion trends and style could be a little bit different from other regions of the world (I don't know, it is just a guess). Thank you very much for your help! Cinzia ps. sorry, I do not have a proper dummy to show the coat, so I tried it on. Hope the pictures are fine anyway.
Your coat is lovely! I agree with '60s and think it probably had a matching A-line or sheath dress. It may have been worn by a bride. It looks great on you!
