This silky pleated vintage black jacquard back button blouse is both modest and sexy. The polyester fabric is a weightier, but silky jacquard with a darling drape. The florentine style florals are interspersed with mosaic accents that makes the pattern look intricate and complex. The modest crew neckline offers modesty and precise knife pleats stripe the front all the way to the bottom. Slight gathers at the shoulders add a pretty touch and afford a bit wider a sleeve befitting a cocktail blouse. These end at the wrist with a single button barrel cuff. This blouse fastens closed in the back via a vertical center row of buttons. I love the versatility of this piece as you can don it with your 1930s and 40s Art Deco clothing through your 1950s pinup looks and pull it off with ease. Made in the USA by Adamo, circa 1980s, this is tagged a size 7/8 and best fits a modern Medium or very busty Small, depending on desired fit, with a max 38 inch bust. 100% polyester jacquard.
CONDITION

Please review the measurements closely, as almost all vintage sizing is NOT true to contemporary sizing AND differs, sometimes widely, from designer to designer. The BEST way to determine fit is to compare these measurements to those of a garment that fits you perfectly! Any remarkable stretch will be noted in the listing, but I am ALWAYS here and happy to help...just message me and we'll figure it out!
