Back in white silk satin with silver lamé stripes. Closes at the front with six taffeta-covered press studs and six large pearl and rhinestone jewel buttons. A frock coat effect at the back, with a large box pleat allowing the coat to be skirted. White nylon lining with scratch marks on the collar. Clean and undamaged despite a very slight patina due to its age and a few pinholes on the sleeves and forearms. Good overall condition in terms of colour and conservation.
