This vintage long-line jacket is a timeless piece of art adorned with avant-garde frill detail that is cut on the round and waterfalls to the knee, a total one of a kind piece. Made of luxurious velvet, with velvet button the jacket re-imagines 80s fashion conventions for an exclusive look that will make you stand out. Perfect for formal events and special occasions and works wonderfully on its own as a statement piece or layered with trousers.
as the jacket is velvet, it is overexposed on the picture that for some white bits are showing, but this is not representative of the jacket. It is just the photograph exposure.
Suitable for size 8-14

It is also very helpful if you are aware of your own particular dimensions. If you're not sure, you may easily approximate them by measuring an item of clothes from your own wardrobe that fits well and is laid flat.
