Rendered in a wonderful palette of steel blue sequins with scattered circular pearlescent beaded details surrounding silver claw set rhinestones, and set off by a black velvet detailed hemline, this original 1960's beaded blouse is the perfect touch of sparkle to add to your vintage collection.
The wide rounded neckline of the blouse sets off the 3 quarter length sleeves. The elegant line of the blouse draws in along the waistline, beneath tailored bust darts, drawing the eye to the black velvet edged hemline. The rounded wide backline of the blouse, completes this piece in a truly iconic and timeless silhouette. This blouse is lined in silk and boasts an underlay of black cotton tulle, upon which the embellishments are secured.
