Fabulous Boxy Cropped Shape!
Original 1960s nylon pussy bow blouse in a chocolate brown shade..
The front of the blouse is densely pleated. The back has 2 layers of nylon chiffon while the sleeves have a single transparent layer that looks very elegant.
A bit of history….
This blouse was purchased as part of the extensive wardrobe belonging to an astute woman of fashion ( I call her Leopard Lady as she loved leopard print) who lived to 100 years. Her daughter informed me that up until the age of 70 she always wore heels, hats and a handbag and was recognized and admired in her local high street in the Midlands.
She was a statuesque 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) and her items are marked between size 18 - 20. By today’s standards, the clothes often come up smaller and I therefore mention the modern day size alongside any marked size.
The collection purchased includes coats, blouses, dresses, bags, hats (large fit) and shoes (size 40 / 41) which will be listed for sale.

There is no size label. In my opinion the fit is a boxy UK 12 / 14 or M / L
The garment is a light weight
Excellent Condition with some minor snags seen to nylon sleeves (see phoro) - INSIGNIFICANT!
