Help dating big collared shirt/blouse - 70s or earlier?

Hi

First time poster here but long time reader/lurker!

I found this shirt in a charity shop (UK thrift store) and it has me a bit confused. Big collars normally say 70s but I'm not really getting that vibe from this shirt. I think it had a label which was cut out so not handmade, though that was my first thought. In the same shop I found a perfect condition 40s dress and a 50s dress (it truly was my lucky day!) and wondered if the shirt could date from around the same time. It has alternate buttons and poppers. What do you guys think? I'd really appreciate your insight.

Thanks

Emma

Very 70s, from the colour, collar shape, I have the same guipiere lace trim on two 70's garments right here, plus your top looks as thought it might have flared sleeves.

Oh hey, I have a curtain and a shirt in exactly same lace pattern. xD

I'm also getting a 1970's vibe, and lace was quite popular then as well.

yes, 70s.

Thank you! I love it and it's a perfect fit so it stays in my wardrobe. Good to know when it's from. Maybe I'll post my other finds from the same trip when I get round to taking some pictures - I'm certain of the dates on those but they are too beautiful not to share!
