Need help with dating - western womens blouse

[libby j]

hi everyone,

i'm having difficulty dating this beautiful cowgirl blouse. labeled "the alamo of nashville."

i've seen 1940s/1950s sewing patterns/ads with very similar styles, but the slight puff sleeves are throwing me off a bit? i'm fairly new to the vintage world ~ any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

With the label, sized and puffed sleeves, I will say 1970s

It's very cute! I see 70s or maybe early 80s. Paired with high waist jeans and cowboy boots!

I know.. it's so adorable! thank you so much for your swift response.

Such a demure collar for 1970s! In my experience, western shirt makers went with the same exaggerated pointy collars in the 1970s that everyone else was doing. I have had multiple western shirts for women and men over the years by Rockmount and H-Bar-C with the classic 70s poke-your-eye-out collars.

I would guess mid 1980s, with the puffed sleeve standing in for the fashionable 80s shoulder pads.

i agree, leaning more 80s on this one. super cute!

I'd late 70s early 80s too.
