Vintage ecru beige 100% silk dress blouse with trailing ivy floral embroidery. This neutral, earthtone button blouse has an endearing feminine style and the most gorgeous, but not overly flowery embroidery, perfectly executed down the front. The embroidery is done predominantly in a clay gray thread. The blouse itself is a soothing beige with nice warm tones to the shade. The dagger collar points out away from the face and is likewise embroidered. Ivy trails down the bust and a bit more embroidery repeats at the cuffs of the long sleeves. The silk looks like it could be a rayon, smooth with great movement and touchably soft. I love the 1940s inspiration on this piece, as it will pair nicely with your wool midi skirts and work attire, even your favorite jeans will work with this gem. Made by Daffodil, likely 1960s, possibly 70s. This is untagged for size but my measurements indicate this best fits a modern Medium to Medium+, with a 40" max bust and an 15.5" shoulder measurement.

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!
