1950s Embroidered Chinese Jacket

The embroidered trim makes this Chinese jacket a little more colorful and interesting than those we've previously run across. The body is a cornflower blue and ivory jacquard with a traditional Asian mountain print, highlighted by a black velvet trim embroidered with cherry red, pink and white flowers that forms the stand up collar, and trims the front edge and hem.  The sleeves have a deep, black velvet cuff embroidered with a single larger flower, and are piped in ivory, as is the collar.  An embroidered appliqué at the breast that echoes that flower, with a gold thread in it as well, and the slanted welted hip pockets are also velvet trimmed. Closes just beneath the collar with a single hook and eye, so the jacket is an open style with a slit at either side hem and lined in ivory silk. Perfect with skinny jeans or a black silk skirt.  The shoulders have a couple of minor snags that really are lost in the print, otherwise, its in excellent condition. Bust 38", hip 42", shoulder 16", sleeve 23", length 27". $125
