1920s Navy Blue Silk Blouse or Evening Jacket

About the Item

VERY BREEZY presents: This vintage 1920s silk blouse is a little piece of flapper history, and a very rare find. The 1920s was a period of liberation in a sense for women, and a full departure from the corsetry of the 19th century: straight dropped waist, flowing silk, oversized sleeves, etc. This particular blouse is emblematic of that: the bodice flows away from the body and the arm holes are very dropped. It can be worn has both a blouse, and a jacket. The sapphire blue silk has an almost iridescent look, and a really soft and flowy feel to it. It closes with small hooks down the front, with a ruffle running down the lapel. Measurements: This piece is intentionally oversized and flowy with a trapeze shape. It will fit most sizes. Chest: 56” laid flat (with it closed) Length: 22” from shoulder to hem Sleeves: 10” Opening at hem: 63.5” (with it closed) Great antique condition, especially considering it is over 100 years old. In the back, there are two tiny pinholes, which appear to be literally the result of someone pinning a tag or something to the back, but they are teeny and don't detract from how special and beautiful this piece is. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote! @VERYBREEZY — Follow along on Instagram for exclusive access to new vintage arrivals
