Silk/Rayon Velvet Jacket from Anthropologie (Elevenses)

Item: Silk/rayon velvet jacket from Anthropologie (Elevenses brand) in a deep teal with a silvery cast in the light. Elasticized waistband with three button-loop closures. Gathered lapels and bubble-hem detail on sleeves. Fully lined.

Condition: Perfect. New with tags.

Why I'm letting it go: I snapped this up on a clearance rack at Anthropologie really hoping I could make this beautiful jacket work for evening over a cocktail jacket. Unfortunately, the size 0 is just a touch too small for me and looks ridiculous on my 5'11" frame. It's been on a hanger for over a year, and in that time I've tried three or four times to find anything I could pair it with. I'm facing facts: it doesn't work.

Brand: Elevenses

Size: 0

Fabrication: shell: 82% rayon, 18% silk; body lining: 100% cotton; sleeve lining: 100% acetate

Paid: $80 (down from $158)

Asking: $20 (includes shipping to continental US)

End Date: August 6, 2009.

  3. Hello lilac & Jenny -

    laid flat:

    the bust measures 16" (armpit to armpit)

    the waist (center elasticized band) measures 13" unstretched - note, as the silhouette is somewhat empire, this is a high waist/underbust. It should stretch to about 15" fully extended (max), as I can fit this around my 29" ribcage.

    the length, from the center back (base of the collar band) to end of the peplum is 20".

    hope this helps!
