This beautifully tailored 1940's secret garden green silk brocade jacket, with a village scene pattern which is accented by bronzed coloured beadwork along the lapels and mock pockets, is the perfect piece for your everyday wardrobe.

The V shaped neckline is framed by rounded notched lapels, which are embellished with bronze coloured beadwork along the brocade patterns. The lapels cross over along the décolletage to create the double breasted cut. The elegant shoulder line, is accented by internally sewn shoulder pads. The full length inset sleeves, frame the fitted cut of the bodice, which is set off by Princess seams that run from the yokes to the mock pockets. The fitted waistline, draws in with two matching silk covered buttons and a concealed hook and eye, setting off the cut of the gently flared hemline, accented by two mock pockets details, which are in turn embellished with bronze coloured glass beadwork to match the lapels. This jacket is fully lined in brown crepe silk.
