1980s Jean Muir Grey Silk Batwing Blouse

This 1980s Jean Muir batwing blouse is crafted from an incredibly soft silk, in a lovely deep gunmetal grey colour. It has shoulder padding to create a more structured silhouette and fastens at the back of the neck with a simple loop and button closure. The front features a geometric pattern of patchwork rectangles to both the left and right hand sides, a design very reminiscent of the abstract trends of the early part of the decade. Each rectangle is embroidered around the edge with a delicate silver thread, to add some extra sparkle. The full batwing sleeves of the blouse fasten in the same way as the neck, with a simple button closure to each tapered cuff.

The blouse is in fabulous vintage condition, with no faults or marks to note. Due to its shape and the nature of the batwing cut, it would best fit anywhere between a size 8-16 UK, or 4-12 US. It is labelled a UK 12, but of course there is a degree of flexibility both under and above this size.
