♛Details

Vintage 1940s super-soft jet black velvet "Sherwood of California" blouse with capped sleeves, striking Venetian mirror-style glass buttons, ruched waist, belt buckle with sash. Wear over a skirt or wide-legged trousers, or make it modern by topping jeans. Difficult to photograph black velvet to do this showstopper proper justice!

•Closures: buckle, snaps, buttons

•Designer/Labels: Sherwood of California

All accessories (belts, jewelry, crinolines, pins, etc.) are for style inspiration only unless indicated.

♛Measurements

About a modern S - M range; please allow room for ease and the kind of fit you desire.

Bust (underarm area doubled) to about 39"/tight 40" pulled flat

Waist about 29"/30" pulled flat, then thread and buckle the sash to suit you

Shoulder to hem about 21"

♛Condition

Great vintage condition. Unfaded -- was lightened in photos for details, but is jet black in person!

Nitpicks: adding a snap or two to the waist sash would help it sit nicely like the photo, as it tends to want to sag due to the buckle's weight. Just a thought.
