My favorite find of the season from Reddoll on Etsy. A military-style, double-breasted wool coat with a high collar, circle metal buttons, and black satin lining throughout the coat. The skirt is a full cut circle. Custom-made to fit you!
how funny, ever since i saw this coat about a week or so ago i've been thinking about it...and now here it is in your post. maybe this means i should order it! so adorable! xox
OOooo, I LOVE that coat. It's very me.....but I mustn't buy one. You know how most women like shoes and handbags, Lynn ? Well, I'm a jacket and coat person. I have too many and I mustn't buy any more.....well, not this week, anyway !!!! XXXX
Very nice adaptation of an 18th century idea of a military/riding front on the ladies bodice. I vaguely remember one of those cute " provocative" costumes (provocative for 18th century)in Forman's Amadeus - powdered wig adorned with bows and tiny officer' hat, a double-breasted waistcoat and fluffy jabot, contrasted by exaggerated ruffled petticoat(s).
I couldn't find the exact picture, but this is similar.
Lynn, you don't have to struggle with pounds! The whole idea of such coat is contrast between feminine form and masculine military style...
