Vintage 1980s polycotton shirt by Debenhams.
The shape is loose and fairly straight with side vents and button cuff sleeves.
A bit of history….
This shirt 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 often 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)
A series of related ‘fashion shoot’ style posts have appeared on the Marshmallowvintage Instagram.
The vintage size label is 22. In my opinion the fit is much smaller by modern standards and is like an L or UK 14

The garment is a light weight.
Excellent Condition. No Notable Flaws
