Red and White Blouse/Top with Novelty Print Sleeves: C1920 Britain
Item Details.
We all adore this lovely blouse/top with a divine novelty print on the sleeves.
Dating from the 1920/30s and printed in a soft red and cream, the front and back are made from a sweet spotty tile design printed cotton, with appliquéd panels across the front and appliquéd decoration.
The sleeves have a solid red underside with a cute Kwepie doll print on the uppers. This makes this top a truly unique and speacial one off.
We think this blouse may have been part of a handmade costume for one of the flamboyant fancy dress parties that were a feature of the 1920s and 30s.
Our lovely model Amie in the photos is a UK size 8.
Measurements taken with garment lying flat.

Condition: Very Good
Overall, condition is very good for an item of this age. There are a couple of darns on the front, which we believe are charming and are a part of this items history. It is unfinished around the bottom edge.
