In a modified tunic length, with a shorter front and longer back, this black silk Mercedes & Adrienne blouse features colorful floral appliques and embroidery, a tuxedo style collar, cuff-link ready cuffs, long sleeves and front buttons. As you can see, it is a stunning and eye catching floral applique design. From the 1980's, when this designer's garments were high fashion, the fabric label reads "Mercedes & Adrienne TM 100% Silk, Made in Hong Kong, RN 57159, CA 09914".

The label inside identifies this as a size 8, however that is from the 1980's when every garment was worn quite over-sized, so please use the measurements below to assure your perfect fit.

Shoulder to shoulder is 17 and 1/4 inches.
Arm hole opening is 26 inches.
Sleeve length is 22 inches
Under arm length at 18 and 3/4 inches, folded for the cuff links.
Bust is 50 inches.
Full length is 29 and 1/2 inches in the front and 33 inches in the back.
Hemline width is 54 inches.
There are 6 inch slits on each curved bottom side.

All of the buttons are intact. Of course, it can be worn as a classic blouse or with some or all of the buttons unbuttoned over a tee, tank, dress or pants set. This length and looser fit style would also look terrific worn over leggings.

The silk this designer used is a thicker, very rich silk, with a lush feel and weight.

There were originally shoulder pads, but those have been removed by the original owner for a more natural shoulder line.

Views of the back side are shown in the last two pictures.

As the photos show, it is in Excellent Vintage condition with no issues to report.

There are no stains, odors, holes or unraveling.

Very well cared for by the original owner, the cuffs, neckline and the underarms are clean.

Freshly cleaned, this vintage stunning Mercedes & Adrienne blouse comes to you from a home with no pets and no smokers.

A pair of vintage cuff links is included for the new owner.

This item is sold from a vintage boutique in Bradenton, FL.
