A lovely vintage European 1940s blouse made from smooth, slightly shiny cold rayon fabric in dark blue with white dots. It has a long pointed collar, short sleeves with darted heads which are darted into a cuff band, & has a delightful little pointed chest pocket with false flap; it fastens with mother-of-pearl buttons set in pairs & a popper at the neck.
