Incredible Chocolate Brown Silk Velvet 1930s Blouse With Bishop Sleeves And Button Details

1930s Chocolate Silk Velvet Blouse with Lace Collar and Bishop Sleeves

A striking example of 1930s perfection, this rich chocolate silk velvet blouse exudes moody elegance. The silhouette is distinctly period with voluminous bishop sleeves tapering to a fitted cuff, and a sharply tailored waistline that flatters the figure. The deep rust orange button detailing along the front and sleeves adds a striking contrast, while the delicate lace collar softens the look whilst adding a statement detail.

This garment is available to purchase with or without dress shields. These clever little contraptions have been made by our seamstress to an original 1940s pattern and can be simply attached to your garment by tack stitching at the corners of the underarm seam, pinning (we wouldn’t recommend that, it hurts if it goes wrong, so if you try this, it is at your own risk only) or inserting tiny poppers. They then stand ready to absorb any sweat and body odours as needed and you can simply detach and launder them instead of your garment, saving you a fortune in dry cleaning bills.

They are equally suitable for suits, blazers and dresses and come in pure white cotton.

They are universally sized and super easy to use even for a sewing novice as only a couple of tiny stitches are required at each side to secure them.

We sell Dress Shields as a standalone item or at a discount if you purchase them with a garment. We will select the appropriate type to match the garment you have purchased.
