Escada by Margaretha Ley 80’s vintage silk blouse black & gold sz 40 M

Stunning authentic vintage Escada blouse from the 1980’s. I bought it direct from a famous vintage shop in Paris circa 2010 during a trip to France. It was very expensive, even back then. In all that time I’ve owned it, I think I’ve actually worn it once. I’ve tried it on a few times before going out for an evening, but always seem to decide on something different to wear. So it’s time to pass this on to someone who will give it the love it deserves! Colors: black with gold baroque scroll motif Material: 100% silk Size: 40 (like a U.S. M or 8)— it’s not fitted and is meant to be blousy, so will fit a range of sizes. Buttons: 1 coin-like gold button on each sleeve. 2 black buttons at the back of the neck. Shoulder pads: includes original subtle pads. They’re attached by thread that is easily cut if not desired, without damaging the blouse. Measurements: as pictured— armpit to armpit 21” Shoulder to hem 26” Shoulder seam to sleeve hem 22” Condition: vintage, but excellent condition for its age. No known spots, tears, rips, repairs or discoloration. The hem detailing (pictured, 2nd to last photo before size chart) is of impeccable quality. Tags: Escada by Margaretha Ley. Made in Germany.
