Vintage Clothing - Incredible Navy Silk Floral Sequin & Bead Cropped Evening Jacket - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Incredible Navy Silk Floral Sequin & Bead Cropped Evening Jacket

$399.00 $389.00 Save $10.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some pieces make you stop mid-scroll and this is absolutely one of them! This extraordinary authentic vintage cropped evening jacket is entirely hand-beaded and sequinned on a silk ground, with clusters of oversized paillettes in pink, white and soft green layered to create three-dimensional floral blooms across the chest and shoulders. Between the flowers, a dense field of smaller iridescent sequins in midnight blue, teal and chartreuse catches and fractures the light in every direction. The neckline, hem and sleeve edges are finished with a couture-level trim of black spiked beads, larger disc sequins and polished black beads, a detail that could have taken a skilled artisan days to complete. The back is equally spectacular, the blooms tumbling across the shoulder blades with the same generosity as the front.

The cropped length sits just at the natural waist, which makes it a brilliant layering piece for a range of proportions. Worn over a sleek column dress or a simple high-neck top and slim skirt, it frames the shoulders and neckline beautifully while leaving the waist and lower body completely clean. This is the piece you wear when you want to walk into a room and not say a single word.

Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from a number of Asian countries but for purposes of website search - we offer as one collection. We believe they are all beautiful, unique and wearable art for the now. Fashion designers have repeated these designs over a variety of eras. Enjoy!
