The color is unique! Call it "raspberry", "dark red", "oxblood?". It's silk charmeuse, from the early 1930s. No shoulder pads. Shoulders are "cut-in" making the sleeves longer and the shoulder measurement quite short. No label, looks custom or handmade. The bow can be tied at collar or left open. The glass buttons had silver back that is now tarnished. They may have been added later because the cuffs show two button holes each side if you look inside. That means it was first worn with cuff links or linked buttons. Incredibly-made. There's ornate pleating in many places, back yoke is topstitched. Snap at corner of upper button placket and one at the bottom, left open because when snapped it's a bit asymmetrical. Condition notes: there's puckering under each arm, and some fabric irregularities next to the little pocket (shown), where it looks like a brooch was worn. These are not even as bad as close-up shows, and they are covered if you don't tie the tie! It has been soaked, so it's clean.
