30s Black Velvet Batwing Sleeve Evening Jacket - sm, med

From the 1930s, an evening jacket in jet-black silk velvet. Two-layer construction features a sleeveless interior vest beneath a ruffled outer layer that forms flowing sleeves. Feels wonderfully soft and flowy. Deaccessioned from the University of Georgia's Historic Clothing & Textile Collection. Some photos lightened to show detail.
