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

  • Antique Rabari Embroidered Choli Tops
    Located in New York, NY
    These vintage embroidered choli tops are incredibly rare and special: their ages range from the early to mid 20th Century, and all of them were embroidered by hand by the Rabari people in what is now Northwest India. The Rabari people are an ethnic group, who today reside primarily in northern and central India, and Pakistan. They have long been known for their impressive embroidery, which traditionally is painstaking completed by hand in vibrant colors. (The Rabari men are known for dressing in all white, while the women dress very colorfully.) NOTE: This listing is for the CRIMSON (red) top. There are three tops in total, available in different colorways: JADE, INDIGO, CRIMSON. Each one is available in my shop. The embroidery in each top is unique, as described below. All of them were found without the original tie closure, so they have been modified with the covered elastic back strap; the strap attaches to the top with hidden hook/eye closures. The tops vary somewhat in their measurements but note that they will best fit a petite frame; the elastic back does offer some flexibility as it stretches. The arm openings are on the small side, especially at the binding, but on all tops they get roomier at the top towards the shoulder. CRIMSON: This is the oldest top of these three, dating to the early 20th Century. It is mainly a rich red, with indigo patches...
