Jacques Heim c1949 Haute Couture designer-maurice On the bodice we see

On the bodice we see the smallest hint of color with a pale green silk penal set under the layers

These bands are highlighted with a vivid coral print and the combination of the color and the fabric makes this coral seem to glow

even the buckle is special - it has a bit of a art deco feel with a two slanted sides

Fully lined in a deep brown silky rayon and closes with the fur hooks down the front

Love that the sleeves come up and out of the waist so you get that bit of upper body fullness that was all the rage at the time and yet it maintains a classic
