This was bought from Miss Master on eBay with this description. It’s gorgeous just doesn’t fit me. It’s more of a small medium and I’m a XS


It's all Gucci with this interesting vintage blouse...


Okay, here's the full story: Over ten years ago, a friend's Grandmother -who was very well-off- gave me two pieces that she said her best dry cleaner could not get the stains out of. I was able to work with the other piece (an Escada jacket), got the stains out and sold it a few years ago. This one went into my archives after a few cleaning attempts. Eventually, the next experiment was to dye it, so now it has this lovely pale raspberry-cream color. After the dye job, the lapel stains were still obvious, so a 'creative repair' was implemented, and I hand-drew a trompe l'oeil style astrakhan lamb fur on the collar and cuffs. Now, about it possibly being a Gucci -which I believe it is. I cannot remember if it ever had a label, and over the years I have looked high and low for one in my studio, to no avail. Now, I do remember that I had to replace one, if not both of the cuff buttons, because the originals had broken off (this frequently happens with carved shell buttons). The inner waist button is the original Gucci logo-carved button, and remains as the only real evidence that this is a Gucci piece.


This incredibly unique blouse comes in a super soft silk, with a lustrous sheen. The color is like a raspberry creme, soft cool pink hue. The shoulders have a raglan sleeve cut, with a slightly full sleeve, ending in moderate width cuffs. The slightly exaggerated lapels are cut wide, and this blouse has a slightly asymmetrical cut, due to ai interesting detail; the right blouse side features an extra silk layer that gathers tightly into the right shoulder yoke, hidden beneath the lapel. The waistline has a tiny plastic snap closure, with an added button closure as well. There is a trompe l'oeil style spiral pattern (hand-drawn by yours truly), meant to mimic Astrakhan lamb fur at cuffs and all along collar. Inside of blouse shows hand-finishing throughout. Overall condition is very good, with unnoticeable, small repairs to silk at 3 spots, original cuff buttons replaced, original shoulder pads removed. And, lastly, the original accordion style pleating to the extra silk layer at right side has fallen out over the years, some 'ghost pleating' remains. Please review photographs for full details. Sorry, no labels to note, just the final remaining carved shell Gucci logo button at inner waist.
