This was once a gorgeous 20s opera cloak in gold silk with a rich purple silk lining.

• SADLY, the silk to badly shredding and - in view - unsalvageable. Only shredded remnants remain of the purple silk lining. Whilst the gold outer fabric is more intact, it too is shredding and in very poor condition.
• Only the flannelette-like padding fabric remains whole.
• The cloak had slits at the front of the arms - each edged with gold braid with a tassel attached, and these remain in place.
• The cloak fastens with 3 passementerie buttons and loops. These buttons are light-weight, possibly wood, which is covered in gold raffia-like thread, and edged and covered with a gold braid forming a cartwheel design.
• Alongside the 2 lower buttons are large rosettes in the gold silk fabric.
• This cloak is really fit only to be disposed of, to put it out of its misery. However, it may be of interest to a fashion student or a period pattern maker.

I have listed it as a STUDY PIECE ONLY, with no returns, at a nominal price with the buyer paying shipping at $10.00.
