This stunning blouse was made in the late 1930's or early 1940's.
Made from wonderfully fine pure silk it has a dark burgundy base with a swan novelty print worked in white.
It has some beautiful detailing with ruched neck detail and a large bow tie in the front. It has pleated side detail, which helps give the front bodice the fullness and it fastens down the back with a long metal zip.
A truly beautiful piece which is much better in person than the photographs show.
