1970s | Point Collar Blouse | Dark Brown - 14

Description:

Item: Original 1970s blouse in a deep dark brown tone with a soft point collar, partial button front and twin chest pockets. Clean, understated design with a neat, slightly relaxed cut through the body and a simple long sleeve shape. An easy, wearable 1970s silhouette with that understated utility feel the decade did so well.

Era: 1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light, honest signs of age and wear only. Presents cleanly overall, with strong colour and a sharp, simple shape. A very wearable example with plenty of life left in it.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the sort of quiet 1970s piece that works because it does not need to shout. The deep brown tone, chest pockets and pared-back shape give it a subtle utility feel, while the clean cut keeps it easy to wear with modern styling. A strong everyday vintage blouse with that understated period look people always come back to.

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.
