This blouse has been made from an original 1940's wartime pattern using a 1940's feed sack from the USA.
Lovely soft cotton fabric in a pretty mauve base it has an intricate floral design in white with ice blue and navy blue accent details.
The blouse has puffed sleeves, a neat little spear point collar, dropped yoke, gathered bodice and is finished with original 1940's navy plastic buttons. The blouse has been very carefully made and features French seams and a hand finished hem.
Please note the colour is truest in the photo showing a close up of a single button.

Condition
Newly made. Washed, pressed and ready to wear.
