Need help dating black velvet opera coat

zannew · Sep 4, 2013

Hi All,

I wondered if you could help me date this nice velvet opera coat. The velvet does not feel like silk velvet. Thank you!

Lovely coat! Are there any tags? For me, seeing some images of the inside construction would help to date.

I believe it is from the late 60s or early 70s.

I believe it is from the late 60s or early 70s.

My thoughts, too. It's a fabulous coat!

Yes, early 70s for me too. Nice!

That is a gorgeous coat, and I especially love the buttons treatment in the back. I see late 1960s, that Young Edwardian look that was popular then.

Velvet is one of my top 3 fave fabrics. That is so lovely.

Just beautiful! This is the kind of coat I would have needed for all my opera outings the last few years
