Opera Coat
Jean-Philippe Worth
House of Worth
1912
In 1912, the dolman coat once again became a fashionable form of outerwear, reviving the silhouette that was popular during the 1870s and 1880s. Worn almost exclusively for evening, the coat’s draped silhouette was often cut like a kimono. The stunning velvet of this example by the House of Worth features oversized woodland flowers including cattails and jack-in-the pulpits.

Evening Coat

French
1910-1912
The contrast of black chiffon over aqua satin contributes to this evening coat’s visual appeal. The use of tassels and braid trim reflect an Asian influence and the ongoing interest in Orientalism at the time.
