$ 32.00 Sale Save
This 1940s vintage necktie is a real Bellywarmer, a nickname given to ultra-wide ties of this era for obvious reasons! This one is quite striking, in its use of squared off shapes accented by dota and dashes - the dashes around the edges of the larger shapes remind me of fringe on an Oriental rug. The fabric is most likely rayon - it has a very delicate curving jacquard weave against the predominant satin background. The background color is somewhere between muted putty green and steel gray. The foreground colors are more vibrant - butter yellow, orange and rust, with a bit of black and white.

I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.

For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.

For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.

Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.

The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.

If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
