A very old French costume jacket.

Likely a costume worn by a performer at the time;

as it is handmade, there are no tags,

but based on the fabric and construction, it is likely a vintage piece from the 1940s or earlier.

It features thick wool material decorated with velour accents.

With a row of silver medals lining the front and

brass buttons on the cuffs featuring intricate floral engravings,

it is a piece unique to vintage costumes,

combining wool and cotton with disparate decorative materials.

 

Stage costumes are often quite flashy,

but this one is all-black, making it easy to incorporate into daily wear.

Among costumes not intended for everyday use,

it is rare to find a "wearable" one, and personally, I would love to see someone pull this off.

Due to its smaller size, I have priced it affordably.

It was a bit small on me, so it looks a bit tight in the photos,

but for those it fits, I think the cropped, compact silhouette with 3/4 length sleeves would look beautiful.

I hope it finds its petite, extra-small Cinderella! Haha
