1990s | Silk Blouse | Abstract Print - 20

Description:

Item:
Original 1990s silk blouse in an abstract vessel and panel print, combining deep blue, brown, taupe and muted red tones across the surface. Button-front design with short sleeves and a relaxed, slightly boxy cut that gives it an easy drape on the body. The silk fabric suits the print especially well, adding softness and fluidity while keeping the colours rich and layered.

Era:
1990s

Brand:
Brand not stated

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Presents well with strong print definition, a soft shape and light, honest signs of age and wear.

Provenance Note:
This is a very good example of a 1990s printed silk blouse with a bit more depth than the usual floral route. The abstract arrangement and earthy palette give it a more artful, decorative feel, while the silk keeps the whole piece light and easy in wear. A strong vintage blouse with real surface interest and a relaxed, slightly dressier character.

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.
