1930s Red and White Stripe Crepe Shirt with Gold Buttons

This red striped crepe blouse is an extremely wearable piece of antique clothing dating from the late 1930s. It is made from a thick, textured red crepe detailed with a fine white stripe with tiny aqua stitches either side of each stripe. The shirt is cut to a boxy fit and hangs beautifully, skimming the body due to the weight of the crepe. There are two faux flap pockets at the chest, from which pleats fall to the bottom hem. The back is also detailed with these pleats. The pockets and front placket are finished with gold-toned buttons with a debossed honeycomb pattern. The bottom half of the front placket closes with hidden snap closures. The sleeves are cut to a slight bell silhouette and close with hidden snap closures. The collar is open and the blouse is unlined. This timeless piece can be easily worn as contemporary daywear with jeans or mixed in with period separates.

The blouse is in truly excellent vintage condition, looks barely worn and has been expertly made. The piece is unlabelled so please check our measurements below. The cloth has no stretch and in our view this is a best fit for all sizes up to a UK size UK 8-10 or US 4-6.
