1950s Purple Velvet Brocade Capris
Va Va Va Very Elizabeth Taylor! These curve hugging 1950s capris in decadent and rich purple velvet brocade are so killer! A quintessential wardrobe piece for the Thinly Veiled Vixen! Super luxe, super unique and super sexy. Someone buy these before I change my mind and keep them for myself!
These are in very good vintage condition. Original metal zipper in back. No tag and may have even been home made (combination of machine and hand stitching construction techniques). No holes or stains. It looks as though the side leg seams were let out at one point, leaving subtle vertical lines in the velvet (see pic above). I personally feel they add to the charm of the pants, sort of a unique (inadvertant) design element - evocative of tuxedo stripes. (interior leg seams still have room to be taken out if need be)
