Austrian Folk Cotton Embroidered Scalloped Ruffle White Blouse with Puff Sleeves
I bought this gorgeous number for myself but unfortunately it’s a tad small, so I’ve decided to part with it and allow another lucky gal to enjoy it. It has everything you want in a vintage blouse… beautiful quality cotton, the loveliest embroidered scalloped trim, handcrafted buttons, puff sleeves, a fantastic silhouette… The buttons are a treat in themselves, known as Dorset buttons, they have been traditionally thread-wrapped over a ring. The blouse is based on a traditional costume design and probably dates from the 1980s or 90s.

Buying Vintage Don’t always believe the label ~ vintage sizes are not the same as modern sizes, they usually come up much smaller.
