A rare vintage 1940s blouse, very nicely home made from cozy wool jersey fabric in a lovely mustard colour. It has a rounded collar, pin tucks down the front, long sleeves gathered into buttoned cuffs, & is darted to fit the waist; the front & cuffs fasten with tonal pearlescent early plastic buttons, with a popper at the neck & popper-fastened bra strap loops inside the shoulders.
