Yes this is a dress not a coat. It from a Harper's Bazaar I've been scanning I've posted about 15 pages of it to my blog if you want to see more vintage fashion http://myvintagevogue.tumblr.com/
I'd have guessed dress. The large number of buttons would make it impractical as a coat. But the shape of the dress, the wide collar, and the accessories make it a bit ambiguous. It's an interesting find, thanks for sharing it!
