Original 1960s black polyester crepe evening blouse with sequin collars and cuffs on the 3/4 sleeves. The shape is wide and boxy with vented sides and fitted (not elasticated!) cuffs
Although a mid-weight the fabric is see-through. and may require an undergarment.
A bit of history….
This top 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.
A series of related ‘fashion shoot’ style posts are appearing on the Marshmallowvintage Instagram.
There is no size label. In my opinion the fit is a UK 10/12.
The garment is a mid weight
Very Good Condition with black patch repar near the front hem (see last 2 photos of both sides)
