This vintage 1950s jacket is just gorgeous, and looks so expensive! Slim curving princess lines, more curves at the bust with angled darts, large collar, longer length that adds to the slimming effect. Lots of rich lady tailoring details, like bound buttonholes, pockets inset into the princess seams, darting at the elbows and pleating at the back of the lining for ease.
