1990s Missoni Cotton Shirt With Novelty Shell Print

About the Item

This 1980s or early 1990s Missoni "Mare" multicoloured cotton tunic will be a fabulous addition to your holiday suitcase. The unusual sea shell surface design in vibrant shades of magenta, Indigo, violet, tangerine and lime green is intended to flatter sun-tanned skin. The soft cotton fabric is ever so slightly sheer and pleasantly lightweight, with long sleeves to protect from the sun's rays and a flared tunic shape that finishes just above the knee. The collar has a wide angled lapel and central button stand most likely designed to be worn open when desired. In super vintage condition, would best suit US size 4 - 6, UK size 8 - 10 but could also be worn looser by a size smaller.

  • 1970s Ossie Clark Navy Floral Print Blouse with Celia Birtwell Print
    By Ossie Clark
    Located in London, GB
    This is a phenomenal 1970s Ossie Clark boutique blouse with an important and well documented print by Celia Birtwell. It is fully labelled and additionally has the Quorum boutique retail label which sold Ossie's costly mainline collections - they are much rarer than Radley retailed pieces. There are some wonderful softer design details in this blouse from the puff sleeves to the long tapered cuffs and the gathered yoke giving it a loose romantic poet's style aesthetic as the blouse is without darts. The print is a very beautiful floral design against a navy background in quality rayon fabric. This is a remarkable piece of fashion history and has been in my personal collection for years but it is time for someone else to enjoy it. The condition is very good overall. There is slight fade on the sleeve elements of the arm - this is more noticeable on the right side than the left - the photos are a good representation and this never bothered me as it is so slight. Additionally there are two very small, minor grazes on the back towards the top of the neck; not quite holes but the fabric has thinned. They are not noticeable when worn. The last very minor issue is there is a small stress parting along the seam on the left forearm sleeve. This is on the underside and therefore cannot be seen when worn. This has been dry cleaned and is ready to wear and I can be seen modelling this top for a vintage photo...

  • 1970s Jeff Banks Floral Chiffon and Lace Blouse
    By Jeff Banks
    Located in London, GB
    This pretty 1970s Jeff Banks chiffon blouse is gorgeously feminine with some lovely details. The light chiffon has a floral pattern of pastel tones in ivory, soft green, ochre, rose pink and lilac. The generous cut of the fabric and batwing sleeves ensure a beautiful flow of movement as the piece falls over the body. Ornate irregular pleating features either side of the round neck collar so that the fabric falls flatteringly away from the breasts besides each arm. This pleating is echoed on the reverse beneath the seam of the western style yoke that sits across the shoulders. The central button stand hosts 7 small pearlescent flats and is embellished with pale Victorian-style lace trim in vertical lines parallel to the seam. This lace is used to trim the dainty cuffs with are gathered at each wrist to accentuate the volume of the sleeve. In wonderful condition, this piece has a timeless feel and can be appropriated easily as formal occasion wear or casual daywear. Would best suit size medium...
