Vintage Ivory Tunic Blouse

I'm currently working to get this long tunic blouse added to the store.  I'm not happy with the way my camera's been acting.
Anyway....this top is a real sweet honey.  Vintage late 1970s to early 1980s I believe.  I had a pink crepe chiffon blouse back in that era that had the same styling....that gorgeous deep, deep ruffle around the modified v-neck.  Still have it in fact.  I'm one of those people that put clothing away in storage; hoping I'll have another occasion to wear it.  I love all my clothes and hold on until the bitter end!

This pretty lady is a one size fits all with it's loose comfy fit.
It's pullover style and has one round faux pearl button for closure. 

The sleeves are long and billowy buccaneer/pirate style.  The elastic at the wrist is relaxed-I've debated on whether to replace it or leave it to the next owner.  I've often wondered what buyers really feel about that issue.  I'm pretty much a purist and tend to leave vintage clothing in it's original state. 

As the photo below shows; this blouse has a wonderful drape and looks flattering over jeans or a short figure hugging mini skirt.  I would go with a black pencil mini and sheer black shadow-stripe hose.

Well....enough talking to myself~

Time to get back to work!

Here's a seasonal look at the vintage blouses & tops that are currently available in my store:

Blue Jean Baby

This is one of my favorite jean jackets in my collection.  It's a Susan Bristol and it's super warm.  I love the colorful contrast of the woven indian blanket inspired sleeves and the embroidered southwestern design.















The Susan Bristol Company was founded in 1970.
This jacket is from the early 90s Grunge era when we were all running around in flannel shirts...the holier-the better. 
The label on this jacket is dated 1993.

I've researched this jacket pretty well and can't come up with anything similar-the sleeves are so striking with the denim that at first glance; one may think it's upcycled, but it's not.
Susan Bristol's denim jackets lean towards the Southwestern style, but some are patched and embroidered and remind me of one I had in the early 70s.  Any blank spot on that jacket ended up filled with flowers, butterflies & peace signs.  I wore it until it was threadbare and I think it was the patches that held it together.
Oh, well....all things eventually end and this jacket will now go into my store in search of new memories with it's next owner.

Vintage Michelene Bridal Sheer White Chiffon & Lace Peignoir Robe

This Elegant Michelene peignoir robe from the 1950s is sheer elegance.

The gathered on bodice buttons at the waist with four pearly buttons and elastic loops and creates a renaissance princess look. 
A very wide lace border trims the neckline and set-in waist.
  

  The same lace also adorns the three quarter length sleeves with the elastic set in halfway in the lace to create a charming, pouffed ruffle.

I photographed the robe over a gold satin gown in order to show detail.
This sheer peignoir robe would look great over a contrasting gown of your own.  Just imagine how dramatic it would look over seductive black!
Or you could go completely scandalous and wear it over nothing at all~
Oh, my!

A lovely addition for any collection of vintage lingerie.
