The pattern beneath it is botanical, a large-scale tone-on-tone jacquard of rose leaves and stems woven directly into the satin weave, visible only when the surface moves or the angle changes. The collar is a mandarin form that drapes loosely rather than standing, settling into a soft fold at the throat. Three satin knotted rosette buttons on the centre front. Three-quarter sleeves with a vent slit at the cuff. The silhouette is an A-line swing, knee-length, the shape clean and wide. The lining is deep navy satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe swing coat was the defining outerwear silhouette of the mid-1960s, a reaction against the structured fitted coats of the previous decade and a precursor to the geometric shapes that would follow. A handmade version of this form required considerable skill: the swing seams carry tension at the hem that must be handled at the construction stage or the coat will pull. This piece is well made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":44143316861062,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_3139.jpg?v=1783496259","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/blue-hour-1960s-handmade-iridescent-jacquard-swing-coat","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
