Vintage 1940s short sleeve blouse in a rich dark peachy-pink rayon, featuring exquisite lace insets framing the pleated front and echoed on the sleeves. Styled with pearly back buttons, short sleeves, and tailored fit. The rayon has a fluid drape typical of 1940s daywear blouses. Condition: Clean, ready to wear. Only flaw is subtle fading from top to bottom (darker peach/brown at top, lighter toward hem). Very even and not distracting. Provenance Note: Rayon blouses with lace insets were wardrobe staples of the 1940s, bridging utility with femininity during and after WWII. While colors were often practical, lace paneling and pleating added delicate elegance. Collectible today for their craftsmanship, flattering lines, and rarity in larger bust sizes.
