I couldnt stop smiling when I spotted this vintage item. I thought of Mame Dennis and her irrepressible self, living life on her own terms in her irrepressible wardrobe. Then I thought of you. Able, with a single wearing, to surmount the eternal questions: Is life becoming too predictable? Am I having enough fun? Can I wear it as a jacket if I want to? 1950s Swirl Coat (No. 1974). Madcap without being completely mad. Frock-coat cut of midweight Italian wool-blend, so you can find you inner Mame and yes, wear it comfortably indoors, too. Fizzy, sophisticated pattern looks like Jackson Pollack after a semester of fashion design. Big round-edge collar, very chic standing up. Matching handpainted buttons. A knockout with white cashmere sweater, jeans, and boots; pillbox hat and foot-long cigarette holder optional. Is that you sitting in the Maharajahs box, cheering on Tiny at the World Elephant Polo Championships? Womens sizes: 4-16. Color: Black and Cream swirls. Price: $279. Sale:... See less
