‘Looking Glass Originals’ vintage 1970s ossie inspired ‘British boutique’ era blouse. I’ve seen this labels a good few times over the years, and they’re always really good cheap and cheerful ‘interpretations’ of Ossie Clark etc. I think I did know more about them at some point!

Polyester crepe I would think, with lurex embroidery to revere collar and cuffs. Fab puffed sleeves. Easy fit with self ties below the bust.

(Belonged to a cruise ship singer in the 1970s as part of her stage wardrobe, you can just see it!)

Measures:

Bust 36

Waist 30 will tie smaller

Shoulder to hem approx 24”

Sleeve crown to turn back 23 1/2” (allows for puff)

 

Condition: just washed and immediately wearable, minor flaws noted below

Some very minor scattered bobbling . Three small faint marks as shown (one to shoulder, one to back below yoke, one to sleeve - these all lightened with hand wash so may be worth another go!)

A tiny pink spot at waistline hidden by ties 

Pulled through two snags back to wrong side, so now unseen from front

Restitched neckline edge shoulder seam.

Some minor seam pull/stress at very backs of armscyes, only really visible if you pull on the fabric (as I was looking for marks!)
