This vintage 1940s embellished blouse is utterly charming! The blouse front is gently shaped with tucks at the shoulders and at the waist. Shoulders are padded, sleeves are short in length but deeply cut so they drape nicely. The small curving collar has the look of a tied and dangling ribbon in the center - the entire collar is encrusted with beads along with a few pearls. A scattering of small bead and pearl accents across the upper bodice completes the look.

SIZE: No size label

FABRIC/COLORS: Dark blue faille, feels silky, most likely rayon. The trim is done with opaque white glass seed beads, dark silver/gray bugle beads and small faux pearls.

TAGS: Gotham, For Better Blouses

CLOSURES: Five flat clear plastic "applesauce" buttons down the back in a hidden placket. There is a small snap at the back of the neck.

CONDITION: I found a single pinhole next to the left front armhole seam as well as some mild iron shine that I could not get to show up in a photo. No other issues noted.
