Condition: This blouse is in good but not perfect vintage condition. There is colour variation along the shoulders, neckline, armpits and sleeves, where the dark pecan brown appears to be more red in its colour. This process is on that happens when the garment has been left for long periods of time in storage in direct sunlight. There are two small speckled areas of the same colour variation near the second button hole. A very small and sympathetic darn along the bottom left hand side front of the blouse, 3 inches up from the hemline.  These minor details are in not overly apparent when the blouse is being worn and only noticeable upon inspection.
