LAYAWAY PAYMENT 1 OF 2 - RESERVED FOR AMBIKA - Fabulous Original 1930s Yellow Silk Blouse With Gathered Puff Sleeves
RESERVED FOR AMBIKA - PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE - LAYAWAY PAYMENT 1 OF 2 due 21st July 2022
This beautiful blouse was made in the 1930s from lemon yellow silk. The small collar has beautiful topstitched detailing which is mirrored down the placket and a single row of five buttons fasten the blouse. A shoulder yolk detail highlights the strong shoulder line and gathering at the top of the sleeves, which gives a lovely puff sleeve effect that is reinforced by the internal padding. The sleeves are wonderful and wide, almost bishop sleeves and fasten with a button cuff. Gorgeous pleats fall from the gathering at the shoulder yolk to give the bust a super flattering silhouette.
Bust: 44” (tight 45”)
Shoulders: 15” seam to seam
Length: 21 1/2”
The blouse is in good condition with a few marks, colour inconsistencies and some missing double stitching at the shoulders as pictured.

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 two different options:
1. Pure cream cotton for your heavier weight dresses, blazers and suits
or
2. White cotton muslin for lightweight summer dresses (so they don’t show through the fabric)
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.
