(images in gallery are of the actual fabric selected, and of a previous coat to demonstrate the style)

A substantial capacious rather dramatic tulip coat in the 1920s opera coat style. 

Constructed from a length of medium soft furnishing weight cotton/linen. This is a single length from my stash of antique and vintage textiles, a vintage 1970s piece by Moygashel Irish Linens called Printemps. It’s a dramatic bold floral on a black ground.

Fully lined in a complementary printed silk, with enclosed French seam construction throughout for durability. The high neck and pockets are lined in silk for comfort.

A high funnel collar throws back to those glamorous  Poiret style coats, and the overlapping front closes with a pair of large fabric covered buttons.
Deep patch pockets and the panelled tulip shape construction gives interesting detail. 

Sizing As the fit of all these garments is meant to be loose and fluid it provides a fair bit of flexibility on sizing.

For this particular coat size , I have designated it a medium. However the relaxed fit and loose overlapping front style means that it could work well for a range of sizes. 

I have given the actual garment measurements below so you can ascertain for yourself how it will work with your own measurements. Remember to double these figures to give maximum circumferences, and that these pieces are meant to be loose fitting, so allow a generous amount of room over your particular body measurements

The ingredients Please be aware that these unique pieces are created from vintage textiles, which have had a previous life, so consequently there may be the odd very minor smudge or pilling to the surface of the wool. These in no way impinge on their beauty, and you can be sure that they do not compromise the integrity of the material.  Our sarees are cleaned and checked for flaws prior to making, and we cut around any significant marks.
Any area of actual damage or thinning is repaired with a tiny embroidered patch using a visible mending technique (one of my favourite features). These should be seen as an enhancement to the garment, and a sign of the textile's previous life and history. 

This is a deliberate choice to fit in with our ethos of creating beautiful garments with minimal impact on the planet.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to read both our shipping and refund policy pages before placing an order (links to both at foot of page). By placing an order you are indicating you have read and accepted these terms.

Sizing As the fit of all these garments is meant to be loose and fluid it provides a fair bit of flexibility on sizing.

Construction The robe has a full silk lining

As with all of the pieces, the quality of the finish is paramount, with French and bound seams throughout (no overlocking) to ensure both a comfortable wear and a long life.

Each of these pieces is created from vintage textiles. The design is very considered, with the cut engineered to make the best use of the various areas of beautiful printed design on the length.  I will spend some hours before cutting trying out different pattern layouts to ensure the most pleasing finished effect. 

Care; This structured linen/cotton/silk coat should be dry-cleaned only.
