Smashing coat! The fit looks great.
We have our own public label resource here but no entry for Bloomingdales as yet.
The curly B seems to feature on Bloomingdale labels from the 1950s, your style of label; with the very plush satin and silky embroidery sewn on with X stitches, is often found on coats between 1940's-60's.
Would it be possible to see the coat laid out open? to show the lining, and the construction on the outside. How full is the skirt?

It looks like a late 30s or early 40s velvet opera coat.
What a lovely gift!
I agree with Melanie that some more photos would be of help to id the dating.

Here are more pictures.
#1 - is the backside of the lining at the hem
#2 - is the backside of the coat at the hem
#3 - is the full view of the lining
#4 - is the full view of the outside
The skirt laid out is 3 yards wide. It looks like it is all machine sewn except for the lining of the sleeve near the shoulder (which could be repairs) I appreciate your help. I would have guessed the 1950's myself.
