The neckline and shoulders are worked with black soutache braid in a leaf motif, scattered through with tiny seed pearls that continue loosely down the front of the bodice. The waist is nipped, giving the blouse a fitted, tailored shape rather than a loose or blouson cut. It's the sort of piece built to sit under a suit jacket, though the detailing is good enough to carry it on its own for evening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: 1940s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Rayon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign Details: Boat neckline, short sleeves, nipped waist, black soutache braid leaf motif at the shoulders and neckline, seed pearl embellishment across the bodice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastenings: Button back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Alice Stuart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBust: 40”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 32”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 23”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulders: 16” seam to seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood vintage condition.
