Vintage Dumas Women's Car Coat, Wool(?, or Mohair?) Knee Length, 3/4 Sleeves (almost bell sleeves, wide), Fully Lined, Notched Collar
~ Ivory, cream, off-white color
The fabric is a little stiff, but the coat goes on and moves easily because it's generously cut and the lining is silky.
I'm guessing at the coat's age. It had belonged to my Great Aunt who passed 40 years ago. The shape, the big plastic buttons, and small collar look like the styles from the 1940's and 1950's to me.
