Heavily beaded 1940s vintage wool retailer crepe jacket

Quintessentially 1940s jacket with the best era features.
Let's start with the cut. Tailored to the body design lines that taper retailer in at the waist and includes hidden pockets at the breast and hip. Back belt to emphasise the waist even further. Tailored button holes and fabric covered buttons.
The highlight of the jacket is a heavily beaded spray of flowers on either side of the jacket that measure 16” long. Each flower has a metal cap centre. Truly beautiful work
