This coat is gorgeous and even better in person. It is made out of a light wool that has the exact same feel of a high end wool blanket. As a further play on that feel, Cardin has had all of the edges, inside and out, finished with a cream ribbon. This binds all of the inner seams and edges the neckline, runs down the front and circles the hem. Each sleeve is also finished with this same ribbon treatment. He then used the seams themselves to create the detailing, with a topstitched edging curving around the seam the separates the bodice from the coat's skirting. It is cut slimmer through the upper body and the lower part flares out as it reaches the hem. There is no true collar, instead the neckline is cut to simply curve around your neck. It has a single hook at the neck and then a second one along with a snap that sits under that pretty ribbon edged bow at the waist. I love how this leaves the coat with just a suggestion of an opening between the neck and the waist and then below that the skirt is open to the hem. I also love how it is cut so that you get that gorgeous curved effect at the front. This is just master cutting at work. It is darling and looks like it was never worn or worn very little. It does have a small flaw so please review the condition notes below but otherwise is in excellent condition

Unlined and hooks to close at the neck and under the bow. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. I see two small grazes out of the wool. One on the sleeve and one at the front. Please see the photos after the label shot
