Killer 1980s Carlisle rattan & polka dot print silk blouse in nice vintage condition. Signs of regular wear and washing, as pictured there are some really faint spots in the yellow print where the black has bled through. There aren't any egregious spots, it blends into the print and isn't really noticeable. Otherwise no major flaws to note.

This print is absolutely amazing! It's not the typical baroque style with chains and filigree, that sort of thing. Golden yellow rattan grid with alternating beige and black polka dots in between. Silk is super lightweight and breezy. Two breast pockets with chunky gold metal button closures, matching buttons at each sleeve cuff. Hidden button panel down the front, really killer pleat detailing in back. Great relaxed, breezy fit.
*Color is best represented in the photos of the blouse on the hanger and dress form.
Measurements laying flat are approximately:
Bust: 22 inches, measured armpit to armpit. Up to 44 inches around the bust, would probably best fit a modern medium/large in breezy, boxy kind of fit.
Length: 24 inches long.
Sleeves: 22.5 inches long. 8 inches across the widest point so 16 inches around each sleeve.
Shoulders: 20 inches, measured across the top of the shoulder between each sleeve seam.
