A bit of history….
This jacket was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion (I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands.
She was a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and her items are marked between size 18 - 20. By today’s standards, the clothes often come up smaller and I therefore mention the modern day size alongside any marked size.
The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (Large fit) and shoes (size 40 / 41) which will be listed for sale.

There is no size label. In my opinion the fit is an XXL or UK 18. Despite the photos / video it is actually iway too big on my UK 12 build …….I would have kept it otherise it is that nice!
