1950s Pastel Peach Searsucker Semi-Sheer Short Sleeve Blouse
I love these early nylon seersucker blouses. They are light like a cloud and feel so modern. This one is the perfect shade of pastel peach and has been beautifully stitched with French seams.
Double darts at the front and back create a slightly nipped in waist, which is very flattering, and tiny gathers on the shoulders gently blouse over the bust. It has a classic revere collar, turned up short sleeves and delicate etched shell buttons.
Size 8-14
