Second Lace Blouse

[grazia83]

Hello again,
Here is the other blouse that needs dating. I would actually consider it more of a jacket. It looks like something that would have gone over dress. But I could be wrong. I don't know if you can see them, but it has slits on the sides (if knowing that makes any difference in helping to determine its date). Hope the photos are clear enough. Thank you all for your help!

At first glance I thought it might be from the sixties. Of course, I'm still learning. What do you guys think? It looks like an evening piece. What kind of dress do you think it would have been worn over? If the pictures aren't clear, I will be happy to re-upload them!

Your photos are fine, although the files and overall size are quite large. This will cause this thread to open slowly for some users, and actually makes it more difficult to see with all the scrolling necessary. You really should consider making your photobucket pics smaller.

As far as date, I really have no idea, but my first thought was more 80s. Nothing to support that, just a hunch, so take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely make them smaller next time. In the meantime, I scaled down the photos from this thread. I don't know if you can tell, but this blouse is fairly long for a petite person. I'm 5"1 and it goes well passed my hips. There are no labels. Eighties does seem likely I think. It's original owner took great care of it as it's in great condition. Any thoughts?

So much harder to date those items that were never high fashion (no disrespect to your jacket!.) I'd veer towards early 90s on this, certainly no older than mid 80s IMO.

Mid9os at the earliest.
