1970s | Levi’s Bend Over | Blouse - 14

Description:

Item:
Original Levi’s Bend Over blouse from the 1970s with an all-over geometric print in rich blue, red, mustard and muted grey tones. Classic button-front construction with a pointed collar, long sleeves and an easy straight cut through the body. This is older polyester of the period, made as a durable, premium fabric designed to hold its colour and structure well, which is exactly why these 1970s printed pieces still present so strongly now.

Era:
1970s

Brand:
Levi’s Bend Over

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Presents well overall with light, honest wear only consistent with age. Print remains strong and the blouse keeps a good shape, with no major issues visible.

Provenance Note:
The appeal here is all in the print and label combination. Levi’s Bend Over pieces have a real following because they capture that practical, easy-wearing side of 1970s fashion while still delivering plenty of visual impact. This one has a particularly strong pattern, with enough colour and detail to stand out on the rail, but in a blouse shape that still feels straightforward and very wearable.

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.
