Early 1930s Black Silk Peplum Blouse – Glass Button Front Top
Early 1930s Black Silk Peplum Blouse – Glass Button Front Top
Early 1930s dressing was all about a long, fitted line through the body, and this black silk blouse follows it closely. Seaming shapes the bodice to the waist, where it finishes in a softly flared peplum that sits over the hips. The sleeves are short and set in with a little fullness at the head, giving a gentle lift at the shoulder. A row of tiny black glass buttons runs down the centre front, catching the light against the silk, and the round neckline keeps everything clean and simple. The silk has a sumptuously soft sheen, which makes it wonderfully luxurious to wear.

Why You'll Love It
Black silk blouses from this period are not easy to wear badly. This one sits happily with a high-waisted pencil skirt or wide-leg trousers, and the peplum gives you shape without any fuss. It also works under a sharp 1940s suit jacket, where only the neckline and buttons show. For anyone building a vintage wardrobe, or collecting 1930s separates, it is a quietly useful piece.
