1980s | Paige | Short Sleeve Blouse - 10

Description:

Item:
Original 1980s Paige short sleeve blouse in a pastel colour-block design, combining yellow, mint and soft grey panels with a patch-detail chest pocket. Button-front style with a slightly boxy cut and a clean, easy shape typical of the decade. The poly-cotton blend gives it a crisp handle and helps the colours stay bright and well defined. Older blends of this kind were made to wear well, hold their shape and keep their finish over time.

Era:
1980s

Brand:
Paige

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Presents well with bright colour, a clean shape and light, honest signs of age and storage.

Provenance Note:
This is a strong example of the playful side of 1980s casualwear. The panelled construction and pocket detail give it real visual character, while the soft pastel palette keeps it light and wearable rather than overpowering. A very appealing piece for someone drawn to graphic vintage tops with a proper period feel and an easy summer shape.

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.
