Amazing C.1900 Victorian Velvet Mantle Coat With Soutache & Lappet Tails

About the Item

This is a wearable Victorian era mantle coat which creates an amazing style when paired with modern clothing. The weighty velvet fabric feels like a flat fur and is decorated with soutache at the front and back. The sleeves are fitted at the top and bell towards the cuff with additional braiding and a decorated button. Hooks at the front keep the coat securely closed and front lappet tails add visual interest and practically dance when you walk. Quilted inside lining creates added warmth and there is a secret pocket trimmed with bows to keep a love letter close to your heart. Though the coat is not perfect, it is in amazing condition for its age. Some areas on the velvet show wear and the soutache is fading here and there. The lining is intact but there is fraying in high stress areas which cannot be seen on the outside and does not affect wearability. A true beauty with the characteristics of a fine past. Please note that Victorian era clothing is extra small and confining through the upper arms and shoulders. Not only have we grown in size over the decades but we lead very different lifestyles. The lady who would have owned this coat would have rarely raised her arms or done any lifting...as a consequence this garment is tight and restrictive across the shoulders. Fashion history is always fascinating! This coat fits like a modern size 2 and possibly might fit a size 4 with attention to the following measurements taken on the outside. Bust 33" Waist 29.5" Hips 37" Sleeve Length From Underarm to Cuff 16" Shoulder Length at Back From Sleeve Seam to Seam 14" Length at Back From Shoulder to Hem 21.25" Length at Front From Shoulder to End of Lappet Tail Point 43" Length From Shoulder to Waist 14"

Dimensions:
Marked Size: Unmarked (Size 2-4) (US)Bust: 33 in (83.82 cm)Waist: 29.5 in (74.93 cm)Hip: 37 in (93.98 cm)

Unknown
Period:

Material Notes:
Refined flat velvet decorated with soutache and lappet tails creates a wearable mantle coat worthy of a manor lady.
Condition:
Wear consistent with age and use. Excellent for its age though some signs of wear to velvet, fading to soutache and tails, fraying to lining at high stress areas...please see description.
