This 1940s embellished blouse is utterly charming! The blouse front is gently shaped with tucks at the shoulders and at the waist. Shoulders are padded, sleeves are short in length but deeply cut so they drape nicely. The small curving collar has the look of a tied and dangling ribbon in the center - the entire collar is encrusted with beads along with a few pearls. A scattering of small bead and pearl accents across the upper bodice completes the look.
