ARCHIVE - Vintage 1920s Rose Print Lame Blouse
This desirable 1920s gold lamé blouse with a pretty rose print in soft peach, pale blue and grey tones over an abstract black and gold deco background is in excellent vintage condition although the designer is unknown. It features a lengthly sash attached at the hem on the reverse leaving the front free to style as desired. There folded pleats which run in parallel over the bust the front of the bodice and a drop waistline typical of the era. The neck is secured at the back with a series of fabric covered buttons and loops matching those on the cuffs. This gorgeous piece is wonderfully versatile and could effortlessly be dressed up or down. Due to the loose fit it is slightly flexible in size but we recommend a US size 8, Uk size 12.
