This is an awkward link to an IG pic but shows how it's done - you can see the mustard strap going over her left sleeve : <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent.cdninstagram.com%2Ft51.2885-15%2Fs640x640%2Fsh0.08%2Fe35%2F16464578_157445044759204_506692745201451008_n.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.stagram.com%2Ftag%2FStrongShoulders&docid=oaL65uyt8VtHsM&tbnid=g_497Wg1u-lszM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwi7oYnnupPYAhXCBcAKHRk_CmMQMwgoKAAwAA..i&w=640&h=640&itg=1&safe=active&client=opera&bih=863&biw=1433&q=" rel="nofollow"> mustard coat</a>Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653358229354928260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-16824421898152871242017-11-17T19:39:47.908+00:002017-11-17T19:39:47.908+00:00Thank you Caroline!Thank you Caroline!Black Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399472362773743743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-73615660370202569692017-11-16T04:49:40.913+00:002017-11-16T04:49:40.913+00:00Lovely coat!

I love these sort of little details, which were clearly so obvious at the time that no-one felt the need to explain them, so are now utterly perplexing. xxBlack Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399472362773743743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4102653746369917661.post-58225928526181328072017-11-13T10:13:16.442+00:002017-11-13T10:13:16.442+00:00Hoorah! Congratulations on finally getting it done...Hoorah! Congratulations on finally getting it done, it looks fabulous, just perfect of this era. I'm intrigued with the arm straps. I have a couple of vintage coats from this sort of era and earlier that have straps on one side of the inside under the arm which look like they should wrap around you, under the bust and tie the other side. However, on every one I've seen like this, the straps are way too short. There's no way they'd go around anyone who would wear that size coat. I literally have no idea what they were for!
