This wonderful 1940's crepe silk blouse, in a floral print in a palette of pinks, blues, sea greens and tans, with navy blue and cream accents, is the perfect piece for adding to your everyday wardrobe. 

The soft  V shaped neckline is accented by a matching silk turned down collar that fastens along the front of the neckline in a wonderful pussy bow. The elegant shoulder line is set off by triple seam details that radiate into small pleats along each yoke. The short puffed sleeves are finished with simple cuffs with press stud fastenings along each internal side. The fitted cut of the blouse is accented by tailored darts along the front and back of the blouse that draw in the waistline. Finished with a single band of faggot stitching along the hemline, and ornate glass button fastenings, each detail of this piece showcases the craftsmanship of the 1940's.
