vintage handmade multicolor plaid blouse with angora trim collar – extra small | unique retro fitted mod twee folky top
this gorgeous vintage handmade top is sure to turn heads, I have never seen anything quite like it! based on research, it is presumably from the 70s or 80s, and may have been reworked from what was originally a vintage dress. the shirt is constructed from a striking multicolor plaid fabric in shades of navy blue, red, and white, and ten decorative fabric buttons adorn the front. the top features a super soft angora (rabbit hair) collar, rolled up bracelet length sleeves, a cropped rolled up hemline. there are light shoulder pads that can be removed at your discretion, and the shirt goes on pullover style, with a small metal zip closure on the side. the silhouette is fitted and the garment has darting around the bust and cinches in around the waist (around 27” waist) for a flattering look! the top is unlined and the fabric is untagged but it feels like a lightweight knit and it has a bit of an itch to it, so be aware if you have sensitive skin!
this lovely garment has no tagged size but I would say it best fits womens size extra small or more fitted on a small, however please check measurements~
