1970s | Floral Blouse | Pale Pink - 14

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s floral blouse in a soft pale pink tone, with short sleeves, a sharp pointed collar, button-front fastening and front patch pockets. Cut with a straight easy body and a lightly relaxed fit, giving it that practical everyday 1970s blouse shape. The floral print has a softer more scattered feel than bolder period florals, with blue, yellow, orange and brown tones lifting the paler ground nicely. As with good vintage polyester blends of this era, the fabric was made for durability, colour retention and shape, and feels very different in purpose to later cheap synthetic fast-fashion fabrics.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use. Presents well overall from the front, with the print remaining bright and clear.

Provenance Note:
This is a very wearable 1970s blouse, with the kind of gentle floral print that makes an everyday vintage piece easy to reach for. The softer ground colour keeps it light and versatile, while the collar and pocket detail give it enough structure to feel properly of the era. It has that easy, useful sort of period charm that works well for someone who wants a true 1970s piece with print interest but a softer overall look.

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.
