Helen Powell beautifully cut dress coat. This listing has been corrected since further investigation into this article of clothing. Although I feel it has a Victorian style to it, it is  in fact from the 40s or 50s. This dress is beautifully cut which shows in the attention to detail. The buttons are adorned with tiny rhinestones so this dress can be worn for casual or a fancy occasion. There are 2 front pockets and the arms are 3/4 sleeves that are cuffed on the ends. There is also added detail to the elbows I believe to make the dress easier for movement. This dress coat is in excellent condition. Packaged with care from a smoke free environment. 

Waist: 26"
Armpit to armpit: 17"
Material: Twill 
This "coat'" is really too pretty to be a coat. The only reason I'm saying it is a coat is because there is no lining. Otherwise there is no reason you couldn't wear it as a dress.
