1970s | Sheer Floral Blouse | Red – 14

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s sheer blouse featuring a vivid red base with woven check pattern and scattered multicolour floral print throughout. Designed with a classic pointed collar, soft gathered sleeves and button cuffs. The fabric is lightweight and semi-transparent, giving the blouse the airy, flowing look typical of 1970s fashion. The cut sits relaxed through the body, creating an easy, slightly boxy silhouette that works well layered over camisoles or worn with high-waisted trousers.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with strong colour and clean fabric throughout. The material remains vibrant and crisp, with only light signs of age consistent with careful storage.

Provenance Note:
Sheer printed blouses like this became increasingly popular through the 1970s as fashion embraced lighter fabrics, expressive colour and layered styling. The combination of bold floral graphics and translucent fabric captures the decade’s playful approach to texture and pattern, making pieces like this instantly recognisable as part of the era’s distinctive look. A bright, characterful example of 1970s womenswear.

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