Jeanette for St. Martin
70s/80s Sequined Leopard Tunic Length Silk Top

This fun tunic-length leopard top from St. Martin was designed by Jeanette Kastenberg. The leopard design comprises gold and brown squiggles sewn onto a chiffon matrix, and the tiger spots are made with black sequins. This top has no designer label, but extensive research proves that it is from the highly collectible Jeanette for St. Martin label. The photo of the label in this listing is NOT from this tunic top, but is from a matching tank top I found elsewhere among other matching examples.

The base fabric appears to be silk chiffon, I can't identify the decorative stitching, and sequins are often made from polyester. Although all other listings for this designer attribute the era to the 1980s, I am not convinced that this top isn't a little older from the 1970s. No size label is present, but based on sizing charts, it is closest to a modern size M/L. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size.
