In EUC, this is a bright creation of the artist Jim Tillett (1913-1996), from his time in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. There is plenty to find online about his biography, and his creations on the island, and in other locales, namely Mexico. This top is in amazing condition, no holes, tears, stains, or even a thread out of place, it's very well-made. Please note that the camera would not properly pick up the colors, and they are best represented in photo 11. There is no material or size tag, but it definitely feels like a light cotton, but will call it a blend to be safe. Based on the measurements, I would classify it as a Large. It features 2 front pockets at the bottom, 2 small side vents and a collared V-neck. Pullover styling. The boutique dated from 1959-1988, so this piece could fall anywhere within that range.
