Victorian Ivory Silk Blouse Bishop Sleeves & V-Pleat Detail, XS/S

A breathtaking vintage silk blouse that feels straight out of Downton Abbey or The Gilded Age, this piece blends romantic Victorian drama with couture-level craftsmanship. Constructed from ivory 100% silk with a luminous sheen, it features hand-tacked pleating on both front and back, forming a rare symmetrical V-shaped panel that sculpts and elevates the silhouette. But the true showstopper? The billowy bishop sleeves, voluminous and feminine, gathered into wide three-button cuffs for a touch of Edwardian grandeur. The concealed button placket lets the pleats and structure speak for themselves—clean, striking, and utterly timeless. Made in Hong Kong, likely late 1970s to early 1980s, during a golden age of detailed garment production. A few tiny pin-sized marks are noted but do not diminish its heirloom quality. ✨ A piece this special works for modern-day styling or as a museum-worthy costume garment—ideal for period drama, stage, film, cosplay, or romantic reenactment. Imagine it with tailored trousers, a floor-length skirt, or styled beneath a corset. Condition: 9/10 Very good vintage condition with a couple of small spots. See photos.
