Condition: This blouse is in near perfect vintage condition.Very light and gentle colour variation along the shoulder lines, back of the blouse and sleeves, this is minor and appears a very subtle shade lighter. This is a natural process for crepe silk, which can lighten with time due to prolonged exposure to sunlight. A very small bleach mark along the front left hand side of the waist tie and another along the front left hand side of the hemline/peplum area. These minor issues are in no way apparent when the blouse is being worn. Please refer to the photographs, as they form part of the condition report.
