Stunning Original 1930s Volup Vintage Red White And Blue Candy Striped Silk Puff Sleeve Blouse
This wonderful blouse was made in the 1930s from silk in a rainbow of stripes. From a distance the textile appears to be red white and blouse striped but when you look at it closely, you can see all the other colours, just perfect for accessorising. It was cut in the classic silhouette of the era with gorgeous structured puff sleeves. The direction of the stripe has been cleverly used to highlight the shape of the garment and the flattering long necktie adds a strong design element. The hem has been elasticated for that perfect poofy fit. The cute bust pocket finishes off the blouse beautifully and inside, there is a maker’s label for Rosebrand.
Bust: 43” (tight 44”)
Waist: 25-38”
Shoulders: 14 1/2” seam to seam
Length: 19 3/4”
The blouse is in very good condition with only a few minor marks and flaws 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 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.
