This sweater coat was made by my grandmother for my mom, in the 1960's. It was hardly worn, so is in excellent condition except for a stain in the lining (photo above). The color is a pale, yellowish green. It is the type of style that was meant to be worn with long gloves. It is called, either, an opera coat or a swing coat. The model in the photo is 6'1". It would fit a person from approximately 5'6" to 6'2", depending on how long you like your coats. It would keep you warm, going to a party or out to dinner, or strolling through museums in early autumn or early spring. There are no closures. From collar to hem, it is about 40".
