These large "medallions" are lined on the inside with lined with light-colored tulle. Metal clasp (with rhine stones) with a small chain. So the vary the chest size. The long sleeves are made in cascades/pleats. Wide cuffs made of lace and tulle on the inside. The coat is in very good condition preserved. The lining is missing on the inside. It was made of silk and was probably worn, so that it has been removed. To wear the coat, it should be renewed.. The decoration is not included.
