About MeRoyal blue corded silk calf length fitted and panelled dress coat, featuring a decorative white embroidered and beaded panel, and long raglan sleeves. This coat is typical of E&M's stylish approach to female dress. Dating from the 1950s, after the lifting of rationing, it is based on the full skirts of the 'New Look' pioneered by Christian Dior.
