70s Sparkly Striped Lurex Club Wear Top Jackie Oh! VFG
Sparkly lurex Going Out tops like this were quite popular in the 70s. I can so picture this one paired with shiny leggings and strappy heels at a neighborhood disco! The top is styled more-or-less like a teeshirt except for the sleeves, which are pleated and poufed at the top of the shoulder, with ruching that extends half way down the outer sleeve.
SIZE: Labeled size 11. The fabric is stretchy, but it was measured at rest.

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.
