1940s Darling Blouse - Black - product shot

This total Darling makes a graceful return, this time in flattering black. A true treat for vintage lovers, it’s brimming with authentic 1940s detailing - a simplified version of our best selling 'sweetheart' blouse.

Wear the collar open or button up to the top, using the loop with the covered button. This makes it super authentic. Sleeves are long and full with a slim cuff which fastens with a covered button. We've also added a small shoulder pad in the sleeve head - to create that iconic 1940s silhouette.

Since it is mainly designed to be tucked into natural/high waisted trousers or skirts, the fit is loose with a bit of shaping via the darts into the waist to create a flattering blouson look.

Key features include:-
- wear collar open or closed to nape
- iconic gathers into shoulder yoke at front and back
- neckline on this style is faithful to the original garment styles
- shoulder pads
- long bishops sleeves with cuff

Made in Yorkshire, England

Fabric: 100% rayon in Black
Washing instructions: cool hand wash (some shrinkage may occur)
