This vintage royal purple long sleeve blouse is so very daring and speaks volumes about the boldness of it's wearer. It is 100% polyester with fabulous movement and a shimmery finish. It begins with a classic pointed collared neckline. Two broad knife pleats flank the center of the top wherein is hidden the button placket. Gathers at the shoulders along the front yoke lend for marvelous drape about the bust with plenty of space for you. The arm holes are slightly dropped so that a wide and voluminous sleeve can pool a bit at the gathered, single button cuffs. The back is plain with no yoke line to interrupt the lovely cascade of purple fabric falling towards your waistline. The cut is square is and it can be left out but looks darling tucked into the waistline. Silky and breezy, it will feel great on the skin when worn, too! Make your darker fall wardrobe pop with this eye popping shade of purple. And next summer, please pair this with your ivory slacks or white jeans. Then book a trip to Miami. You deserve it. This gorgeous piece is made in Jamaica by Impressions, circa 1980s. Tagged a size 10 and best fits a modern Large to Extra Large, depending on desired fit, with a max 44 inch bust. Fabric is 100% silky polyester.

CONDITION
Very Good. No major flaws noted. I noted one small repair along the seam of the right sleeve, but it is on the the underside and the work is fairly inconspicuous. Also, it looks like the cuff button placement was moved around, but they seem to now be where they originally were. This piece was hand washed, thoroughly reviewed, ironed and lightly steamed for sanitization. Ready to wear and enjoy.
