40s Women's Blouse Vintage Top Beaded Pearls Dressy Suit M/L VFG
This vintage 1940s embellished blouse is utterly charming! The blouse front is gently shaped with tucks at the shoulders and at the waist. Shoulders are padded, sleeves are short in length but deeply cut so they drape nicely. The small curving collar has the look of a tied and dangling ribbon in the center - the entire collar is encrusted with beads along with a few pearls. A scattering of small bead and pearl accents across the upper bodice completes the look.

CLOSURES: Five flat clear plastic "applesauce" buttons down the back in a hidden placket. There is a small snap at the back of the neck.
CONDITION: I found a single pinhole next to the left front armhole seam as well as some mild iron shine that I could not get to show up in a photo. No other issues noted.
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.
