1970s | C&A Deadstock Blouse | Cream Brown - 8

Description:

Item: Original 1970s C&A deadstock blouse in a soft cream tone with all-over brown printed detailing and contrasting patterned collar and cuffs. Finished with a button front fastening and a neat, lightly shaped cut through the body. Clean, easy silhouette with that understated 1970s daywear feel, made even better by its unworn old stock status.

Era: 1970s

Brand: C&A

Condition: Deadstock vintage condition with original tag still attached. Unworn old stock example showing only light storage wear if any. Presents beautifully, with crisp print, strong colour and a very clean overall look.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the sort of deadstock 1970s blouse people love because it gives you the period look in its cleanest form. The soft cream ground, subtle print and contrast collar keep it understated, while the unworn condition makes it feel especially fresh and collectible. A very easy piece to wear, and increasingly hard to find with tags still present.

This is a great example of 1970s polyester at its best, produced as a durable, high-quality fabric designed to hold colour, shape and structure over time rather than the disposable feel people associate with modern fast-fashion polyester.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
