Black and red 'goth-style' coat
This coat is made of black microsuede, black metallic textured fabric, with red crushed taffeta faux waistcoat front and stand-up collar (shown folded down to show fabric). Front waistcoat features pewter skull buttons, while the coat edge is delineated with a raised tunnel of gathered tulle rolling away from the opening. Split back is shaped from top of hips to bottom of shoulder blades with criss-cross lacing of chains. Deep medieval cuffs of Chantilley lace flare out from the elbow to the wrist in a big sweep.
