Teens Glorious Tasseled Blue Velvet Opera Cape by George Bernard 

This cape is a glorious shade of blue in a soft silk velvet. Tassels and rosettes are grand - there are 5. One of the center back on the soft collar, one at each front shoulder on the collar, and 2 on the matching blue cord that ties the at the center front. The collar is looped up at the front - a bit hard to photograph. There are arm slits with straight  cuffs. The body of the cape is cut fairly straight in the front, with a fuller back that is darted to the front at the elbow area for a bit of  a rounded shape. This company is mentioned in the NY Tribune in 1915 at  5th Ave and 31st St. and in the NY Herald in 1917.

Label: George Bernard Fifth Ave. Cor 53rd St. New York

Size:  Shoulders: 15” - 16”,  CB Neck to Hem: 44" . 

Condition: Very Good. The only flaw to the exterior is a shown where a collar stay is poking out a bit through the velvet and there is just a bit of pile loss there are shown. Sadly, the original lining has shattered. We have left it in place as a part of the garment’s history, but  it would need to be removed  and or relined to be wearable. The flannel interior is intact.

1940s Embroidered Red Wool Vintage Coat by Louella Ballerino

This early 1940s, perhaps 1939 jacket from California designer Louella Ballerino is a great red wool with ethnic style embroidery. I see the ethnic influence of the late 30s and early 1940s here, when American designers were discovering European and late American folk wear designs. brilliant green, yellow white and purple wool embroidery. Ballerino was known for drawing inspiration from many international sources. This is a sophisticated garment however, meant for the East Coast - the store label is B. Altman. It is lined in cream satin and has large shoulder pads with a hook closure at the neckline. The welt pockets are functional and there are short side vents.
