Up for auction is a beautiful Cissy rose velvet coat from 1955. This coat can be seen on page 111 of "Cissy Reference Raritites Restoration" by Kiley Ruwe Shaw. In the book she identifies the coat as being a boxed extra for that year. The coat is in good condition with no tears or odors. There are several very light brown spots on the coat that I tried to picture in the pictures above. There is also one dark spot on the bottom right hand side and a light brown stain inside on the linin...g. All that being said the coat displays beautifully. The spots are impossible to see unless you are looking for them and the one dark spot falls right into the natural fold of the dress. The buttons and button holes are in great condition and do not show much if any wear. The color of the coat is vibrant and it has not faded with age. I received this coat with a beautiful rare hat that I am listing separately and is not included in this auction. All together this is such a lovely coat that will look great on any Cissy doll!
