1940's Beaded Crepe Jacket

Sage green crepe is lavishly beaded with white caviar beads.  The oriental inspired pattern is outlined in a golden chain stitch embroidery.

The edge of the jacket and the sleeves are covered with a striking band of red/orange caviar beads.  The simple style of the jacket shows the elaborate beadwork to perfection.  The collarless jacket has a single fabric covered button and loop in front, as well as a hook and eye at the waistline.  The peplum is curved in a figure flattering line which is slightly longer in back.  The sleeves taper to a point at the wrist, accented by the bright beadwork.  There are four fabric covered buttons and loops for a snug fit.  The lining is a matching green satin, and there is a label from Nelly Gaffney, San Francisco.

This generously sized jacket is in pristine condition.
