Pink silk satin evening coat lined in pink silk. Gold-thread embroidered net at the collar and applied at an assymetric angle at the back of neck and at the cuffs. Voluminous balloon sleeves with a roomy cut. The front of the coat fall down peplum-wise into two large lead-weighted bows. Ruching and hooks and eyes at the bust. Swathe of draped silk satin falls from one shoulder, caught to the coat at intervals, and forms an extraordinary Grecian drape around the back of the coat. No label, but there is a numbered tape behind one of the bows.
