About the Item

An exquisite example of late 1980s American power dressing, this dramatic, full-length black evening coat or coatdress by David Hayes was originally retailed at Saks Fifth Avenue. Crafted from a light- to mid-weight pure wool crepe, the piece embodies timeless, high-end elegance with structured shoulders, a sleek, elongating column silhouette, and subtle tailoring through the torso. It has a raised neckline, padded shoulders, and long sleeves. The coat fastens down the center front with a dramatic column of sparkling, pavé rhinestone dome buttons. Designed by David Hayes—a favorite designer of high-society women and First Ladies —this versatile garment transitions effortlessly between a floor-length evening gown/coatdress when worn closed and a dramatic evening duster coat when worn open over tailored trousers or formal wear. Original David Hayes, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Woolmark 100% Pure Wool/Made in USA tags are present. The shell is 100% wool; fully lined in silky black acetate. Labeled vintage size 8. Measurements are consistent with a modern size 8 if worn as a dress or an open duster over light eveningwear. If worn as an evening coat and buttoned over substantial apparel, it could be considered a size 6 to allow extra room for garments worn underneath. MEASUREMENTS (taken flat and doubled)* • Shoulder to Shoulder: 16" • Bust / Underarm to Underarm: 36" • Waist: 31 " • Hips: 39" • Sleeve Length (Shoulder seam to cuff): 23" • Back walking vent: 22” long • Total Length (Center back to hem, excluding raised neck): 57.5" CONDITION Immaculate condition and apparently never worn. All original rhinestone buttons are securely attached with no missing stones. * Note: Review all photographs as part of the description, and please compare the measurements with those of a similar garment that fits you to better ensure a good fit.
