Victorian Jacket, Antique 1800s Women's Silk Jacket, Tailored Fit and Flare Jacket with Buttons Galore

Amazing antique 1800s Victorian ribbed silk jacket with such a flattering fit and flare silhouette and tons of buttons! Styled with a fitted round neckline, slightly drop shoulder seams and long fairly fitted sleeves with trim and button accents. The jacket closes with 17 buttons with flattering seam-work, a nipped waistline and a fabulous flared hem with buttons featured on the backside. The interior is lined with cotton with glazed cotton lining the sleeves and flared hem. Two covered bones on each side - one seam on each side has been let out - you can see tiny open stitch marks on outside. The other inner seams are not boned. There is a partially attached cotton waist placket with hook and eye closures and a glazed cotton loop at the center of back waist seams. Phenomenal tailoring - I wonder if the seams that were let out had boning at one point. There is a small inner coin pocket that can now be accessed on the outside due to letting out of that seam.

Quite amazing condition for it's age - the ribbed silk is structurally excellent and there's quite a bit of life left in her!
