"Jay" Long Sleeve Blouse in Cream, Classic 1940s Vintage Inspired Style by The Seamstress of Bloomsbury

Regular price £50.95
Unit price
per

The perfect 40’s movie-star blouse. Exquisite vintage detailing is designed to flatter and bring out the femme fatal in you.  The curved gathers under the bust give a feminine line to the slimmest girls, but also reduce bulk and emphasise the waist of those with a pin-up’s figure. Lots of little looped fastening buttons lead down from the deepest point of the v-neck emphasising the waist, but the Jay blouse’s special secret is the bow belt that you tie at the back so that the blouse fits perfectly to your body.  The generous full sleeves also finish in a slender two button cuff. Neither fabric nor the seamstress’s craftsmanship has been rationed here!

The Jay blouse is a “Seamstress of Bloomsbury” Original. If you love vintage design and detailing these garments offer you absolutely authentic quality and 1940’s style.  Often exact reproductions of top class true vintage items, they are made to your size, perfect and brand new.  The authentic Rayon Crepe de Chine fabric drapes beautifully and feels very much like silk, however, it is easy to care for and can be hand washed or even machine washed on a delicate cycle.

Such a darling blouse,the attention to detail is wonderful and lends to a lovely fit. It's a beautiful shilohette with it's full sleeves and waist ties so you can wear it as tight or loose as you like,the sleeves although full are not overpowering due to the wide cuffs. I love that all the buttons are covered, it's a nice change and very pretty with the fabric loop fastenings. The fabric is a lovely crepe that is a delight against the skin,soft and sumptuous. Just a great versatile blouse that I'm happy to have in my collection.

The Jay blouse in cream is the perfect flattering 40s blouse. It’s secret is the bow which you tie at the back which pulls the waist and underbust area in to a true fit. The material, which is Seamstress of Bloomsbury’s authentic rayon, needs to be treated carefully, but is the perfect fabric to create the draped but fitted look. The very full long sleeves, underbust gathering and many buttons with loop fastening make it clear that no quality corners have been cut in making this superb repro blouse. I didn’t think it would be possible to improve on the Clarice style, but this blouse seems to have done that. The only downside is that the button loops are a bit tight and the blouse can be a bit time consuming to put on and take off as a result. Also when tightly fitted the fabric can be a little transparent, so yes, you can see I am also modelling the Triumph Doreen longline bra !
