A cream-colored single-breasted wool coat by Saks Fifth Avenue. The coat features a Peter Pan collar made from one panel of burgundy cotton velveteen faced with two panels of cream-colored wool. A large metal snap is located directly under the collar. The front of the coat is composed of two front panels of cream wool that close proper right over left with five metal petal buttons and five corresponding welt buttonholes. Each petal button has a central plastic ruby, surrounded by ten silver plastic rhinestones. The center front coat panels are top stitched with a half-inch seam around the edges. There are two faux front pockets, one at each breast and two inseam pockets – one at each side of the waist. Each inseam pocket is lined with two panels of cream-colored silk lining and each faux wool pocket is 5.25” and cut on the bias.
