Vintage 70s Boho Blouse Top Gauze & Lace Sailor Collar Small to Extra Small VFG
his sweet vintage top dates to the early/mid 1970s - I bought it brand new during that time at a Chicago boutique. The blouse is fitted with vertical darts. It has a sailor collar of filet-style lace that inserts into the vee neck. The short sleeves are turned into angel sleeves with the addition of a godet of the the same lace. The sleeve edges are trimmed in machine made cotton lace. The bottom hem is finished so it can be worn untucked if preferred.

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.
