Vintage 1970s Embroidered Cotton Cropped Tie Front Blouse - Size Small

Vintage 1970s Embroidered Cotton Cropped Tie Front Blouse

A beautiful vintage embroidered blouse in soft, lightweight cream cotton, finished with vibrant floral embroidery in orange, teal, yellow and purple. The pointed collar, delicate buttons and gathered long sleeves give it a lovely folk-inspired feel, while the cropped length and tie-front fastening make it an easy piece to style with high-waisted denim.

The embroidery continues across the collar, cuffs, waist ties and back, with a colourful floral motif across the chest. A standout vintage piece with plenty of personality.

Why We Love It

The colours are everything. This is the sort of blouse that does all the work for an outfit, especially paired with dark denim, simple jewellery and clogs or vintage leather boots. The cropped shape keeps the traditional embroidery feeling fresh rather than overly folksy.
