Description:

Item: 1970s long sleeve blouse by TGL of Sweden in a poly cotton blend, deadstock condition. Vivid orange ground with a large-scale white print combining broad tropical leaves, dotted chain borders, diamond geometric forms and fine-line botanical detail — the elements arranged in a symmetrical, almost medallion-like composition across the fabric. Band collar, full button placket with gold-tone buttons, and long bloused sleeves with gathered cuffs. A striking, confident blouse with considerable presence.

Era: 1970s

Brand: TGL Sweden

Condition: Deadstock - unworn and unused.

Provenance Note: The print is an ambitious and well-executed design: the large tropical leaf forms and dotted chain borders are arranged with a symmetry that gives the repeat a formal, almost decorative arts quality, while the fine-line botanical detail within each element keeps the eye engaged at close range. White on orange is a high-contrast combination that suits the scale of the design well, the broad leaf forms reading with real clarity against the vivid ground. The bloused sleeve with gathered cuff is a well-proportioned detail that suits the generous scale of the print. In deadstock condition throughout.

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.
