ROMANTIC LACE TRIMMED BLOUSE - Late 1980s

Description

ROMANTIC LACE TRIMMED BLOUSE - Late 1980s

Worn occasionally and laundered several times -
Hand made - in the early late 1980s.

A simple boxy blouse embellished with lush lace.

Front buttoned with clear Lucite oblong buttons.

Wide lacy collar.

Double lace trim cuffs

High simple neckline would be lovely accented with a cameo or other old-fashioned brooch.

Lightly gathered sleeves ending in snug single-button cuffs.

Very light-weight 100% Polyester fabric in a neutral cream.

I'd suggest a pastel camisole under this blouse. ____________________________________________________

My size 8 model "Aggie" has a 24 inch waist and this blouse fit her perfectly.

I wouldn't recommend this for a woman with a full bust.
was really large on her.

The blouse is made from a commercial pattern size 10.

This was a lovely with tailored pants which was the style back in the 1980s (remember Krystle from "Dynasty"?)

Actual Measurements of garment -

Bust -
38" (96.5 cm)
(styled to be boxy not fitted but not too loose either - meant to be tucked into pants or skirt)
