    Description

    This gorgeous vintage blouse came from my mother's closet.  I'm guessing at its age based on her weight.  She started having her kids in 1955 and from old photos, I know she never would have fit back into this blouse after that.  So it's probably from the 1940's, possibly 1950's, and knowing my mom, maybe from the 1930's.  She never threw anything away!  Goodwill made a small fortune from our clothing donations when we cleaned out her closets!
    I wear a size 14-16.  As you can see in the photos, I can wear it, but I prefer loose clothing, and this is more fitted than I like.  I would say it's a 14, but I can't guarantee that.  Due to the cut, probably a 12 or 14 could wear this.  The bottom button is either different for strength purposes or was replaced at one time.  It's somewhat sheer, as you can see in the pics taken holding it up with a window in the background.  It's got double fabric on the body part.  It's soft, but not silky.  I'm not sure what type of fabric it is.  Chiffon?
    It has been dry-cleaned.  I put it on for these pics.  Other than that, it has not been worn since sometime before 1955.  It's in very nice shape.
