Hungarian peasant blouse dating from around the 1940s, made from a lightweight, slightly sheer fabric, possibly silk or rayon. The blouse has colourful floral embroidery at the front and on the sleeves, with smocking and multicolour embroidery around the neckline, sleeve cuffs and hem. It has short puff sleeves, a gathered neckline and a red tie cord with tassels. The sleeves are cut with raglan seams and underarm gussets. The smocked hem gives the blouse a short blouson shape.
Measurements: • Bust: 112 cm / 44" • Waist: stretches up to 80 cm / 31.5" • Shoulder + sleeve: 29 cm / 11.5" • Upper arm circumference: up to 29 cm / 11.5" • Length: 52 cm / 20.5" Size is large.
In fair to good wearable condition with several flaws. There is a small pinhole at the front, a secured/repaired hole at the back of one sleeve and a secured/repaired area at the lower hem. There is a small brown mark near the shoulder/front and a small grey mark on the front. A small section of green embroidery thread is loose and the red lower edge stitching has some wear. Price reflects condition.
