Authentic Christian Dior, London Ltd, Size 12 UK woman's 5-button wool jacket in an attractive dark charcoal grey color. One owner: Purchased by my mother when she studied music in London in the mid to late 1950's. Well-preserved in a closet 60-70 years later. Condition is very good with no damage or stains, with the exception of missing one button at the lower left sleeve cuff as photos show. The rear collar to the lower hem at the back measures 20.5". The sleeves measure approximately 16.5" long. About 17" wide measured at the back as photos show. There are tiny holes at right collar lapel, possibly from mounting a pin or brooch. The black interior acetate lining is in excellent condition with no tears or signs of wear. It's an attractive very petite feminine cut at size 12 UK as indicated. My wife describes the jacket is sized to fit more of a petite size 6 US. I would like to know it's appropriate fair market value for selling this on eBay, please.
