About the Item

This finely constructed blouse exemplifies the quiet sophistication of American women’s fashion in the early 1940s, when material ingenuity and skilled workmanship defined elegance. Executed in a richly patterned jacquard textile with a subtle metallic luster, the piece features a warm rose ground interwoven with gold geometric motifs — a textile choice that speaks to pre-war luxury and the lingering influence of Art Deco design. The silhouette is characteristically of the period: a softly draped wrap-style bodice forming a deep V neckline, balanced by long sleeves with gentle volume and a lightly peplumed waist. Velvet accents at the neckline add depth and tactile contrast, elevating the blouse beyond daywear and suggesting an original intention as an evening or cocktail piece. Interior construction is precise and thoughtful, with clean seams and structural finishing indicative of a high-end dressmaker or couture-level atelier. Unlabeled, yet unmistakably well made, this blouse reflects the era when many exceptional garments were produced outside of branded fashion houses — crafted for private clients, specialty boutiques, or upscale department salons. A rare and wearable example of 1940s textile artistry, equally compelling for collectors and modern wardrobes alike. Shoulders 15 Bust 40 Waist 32 Length 21
