What is a princess coat?

1 Answer
What is a princess coat?
The term princess coat gets its name from the distinctive seams that run vertically over the bust, one down each side. In the late 1930s, these coats featured a more fitted skirt but as time went on they became more full-skirted. Shop a collection of princess coats from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
