A diamond lattice of ladder-stitch openwork runs from shoulder to shoulder, and a small embroidered flower sits inside each diamond, worked in peach thread that is only a shade deeper than the cloth. It is delicate work, and it gives a plain blouse real presence. Short cap sleeves and a neat pointed collar keep the shape crisp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRayon crepe was the fabric for this kind of blouse in the 1940s, light and fluid but with enough body to hold the seaming. The shaped side seams follow the waist, so it sits close without clinging, and the buttons run down the back, leaving the embroidered front uninterrupted.\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 crepe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Blush pink with peach embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign Details: Diamond lattice openwork across the yoke, embroidered petal motifs, pointed collar, short cap sleeves, shaped side seams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFastenings: Buttons at the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Raaleda Jr, Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBust: 35”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 28”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulders: 15” seam to seam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 21”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFair condition, with the openwork and embroidery intact.
