About MeKnee-length blue crushed velvet single-breasted evening coat with stand up collar.
The process of literally crushing the velvet adds further lustre to an already sumptuous fabric. Crushed velvet has been especially popular since the 1960s to which this coat dates. This example was made for the donor by a dressmaker on Great Western Road, Aberdeen.
