Handmade blue cotton blouse in a deep brown wiht a folky floral print in slim bands in soft shades of green, white and pink-red. Silhouette is almost Victorian in style, and reminds me very much of 70s prairie silhouette but the buttons and construction and the tiny size tag in the neck, would suggest 40s era. Absolutely stunning top with a high standing neck and dramatic puffed sleeves. Front fastened with a row of small honey toned ball buttons and loop fasteners. Open cut from bottom of buttoning down. Print nicely panelled along the placket. French seams internally. No labels.
SIZE
The shirt is labeled a size 40 but fits approx like a XS. For your best fit please refer to the measurements.
Chest: 33" (best fit smaller, I'm a 33" bust and this was tight! Probably best fit 30-31"
Waist: 29"
Shoulder seam to shoulder seam: 13" from seam to seam, but shoulder is slightly inset and has a big puff, so fits wider, would estimate approx 14"
Sleeve from underarm to cuff: 5.5"
Length: 20.5"
CONDITION
Good condition. Placket edges below the buttoning has been resewn, but this isn't very noticeable when worn.
