A super vintage 1930s blouse or light jacket, home made from black crepe fabric which feels like wool or a wool/rayon blend with an overall squiggly top-stitched & embroidered pattern in white. It is collarless with a round neck, has long sleeves with darted heads, is darted to fit at the waist & flares at the hem with rounded front edges; the front fastens with poppers & has 5 decorative clear glass bobbly buttons.
