Vintage 1970s White Embroidered Cotton Folk Blouse - Size Small

Vintage 1970s White Embroidered Cotton Folk Blouse

A beautiful lightweight 1970s Indian folk blouse in sheer, softly crinkled white cotton, decorated with colourful floral embroidery in cornflower blue, red and golden yellow.

The blouse has a softly rounded V-neckline framed by two embroidered floral borders, with a delicate row of fabric-covered buttons running down the centre. Intricate embroidered flowers and scrolling motifs continue across the shoulders and onto the front of the blouse.

Long, gently flared sleeves give the piece a wonderfully relaxed silhouette, while the lightweight cotton has that lovely airy quality that makes vintage folk blouses so special.

Details:

• Lightweight, semi-sheer cotton
• Hand-look floral embroidery
• Blue, red and golden yellow embroidery
• Embroidered front borders
• Fabric-covered buttons
• Soft V-neckline
• Long, gently flared sleeves
• Relaxed folk-inspired silhouette

Condition:

Good vintage condition. There are some small age-related marks and areas of light discolouration to the fabric, visible on close inspection and shown in the photographs. The embroidery remains bright and beautifully intact.

Why We Love It:

A dreamy little 70s folk blouse with so much character. We particularly love the colourful embroidery against the sheer white cotton - throw it on with faded denim and let the blouse do the talking.
