1960s Donald Brooks Fabulous Floral Print Top Stitched Coat designer-givenchy The silk has a touch

The silk has a touch of a wavy ribbed texture and a hint of transparency to it that gives it an interesting visual effect

The waist nips in and the bodice is sculpted with a dramatic cut out at the neck that reveals the upper bodice and collar bone

Both pieces show some small scuffs and areas of pink color transfer to the suede parts and some very slight silvering to the darker leather patches from being folded in storage prior to acquisition

It did not style it with a crinoline but it has room for a light one if you wanted more fullness

11" W x 12

1960s Donald Brooks Fabulous Floral Print Top Stitched Coat designer-givenchy The silk has a touchDonald Brooks launched his main label in 1964, added a Boutique line in 1971, and then closed up shop completely in 1973. This wonderful Donald Brooks coat is from his first, main line. The fabric and print are amazing. That huge splash of floral across that coat give it such drama and yet it is still pretty and chic. The lines are a nod to the classic double breasted trench and that fabric is just fantastic. The shape and flared line are all created
