An amazing, over the top full on glitz and glamour jacket by Victor Costa. The body of the jacket is a inky black velvet - so rich and luxurious looking and feeling. It has the most amazing heavily done, slightly 3D metallic embroidery. The peplum is exaggerated to the extreme so when buttoned it really stands out - more so then how it has been captured in the photos - there is actually a light stiffening material in it to keep the shape! Each cuff picks up that same embroidery and the inside of the collar is also heavily embroidered - it begs to be flipped up and worn as pictured to show this off! The Shoulders have padding which helps to further exaggerate the shape! Little faux pearls are dispersed through the embroidered bits and this is picked up in the pearl and gold buttons used down the front! Stunning and in excellent condition.
