The new to me 1950's/60's coat

My lovely sister gave me a present last time I was home--an AMAZING 1950's/1960's coat:


There is a really lovely inverted pleat in the back:
It's nice and toasty and I'm wearing it a lot!!

I have two questions for all of you:
1) What year/decade do you think this coat is from (I'm guessing 1950's/1960's--but would love to hear your thoughts)

2) I would love to eventually make a dress to go with this coat.  I haven't sewn much (or anything really from the 50's or 60's...though I am itching to try a pattern out).  Is there a pattern you've seen that you think would look fabulous with this coat?  Do share!!
