1980s does 40s red and white polka dot crepe blouse
Very nicely home-made, with French seams and hand finishing - were it not for the collar shape and plastic backs to the covered buttons I would have dated it much earlier. Nice full sleeves gather into elasticated cuffs. The body of the blouse is a line, gently gathered onto the yoke at the front bodice, and central loose inverted pleat to the back.
It’s a very soft crepe, I think manmade rather than silk but may be a blend. I would be tempted to alter the collar shape if I were keeping - would look great tucked in blouson style.
