This exquisite piece was made in the 1930's and is so much better in person than the photographs are showing, as is so often the case with black garments.
Made in America and labelled 'Livingston Youngstown' the outer is made from wonderfully soft cotton velvet. It has a close fitting bodice, with a double glass button closure at the waist and features slightly flared sleeves with small splits up the side. Fully lined with satin it is a gorgeous jacket just perfect for an evening out.
