On or off shoulders feminine burgundy paisley top semi- sheer fabric-vintage

A famous French brand that specialized in casual fashion with a modern twist. This “on or off shoulders” smocked top has elegant feminine lines and smocked details. You can choose a bra, a bralette or a camisole to wear under as one can see thru the fabric. A good idea to extend its use to four seasons is to wear it with a fine Italian wool camisole or any fabric that is soft on your skin Paisley pattern made of black, rust, cream, burgundy red on a brownish burgundy background. Hues will vary with lighting. The picture on the white bust mannequin shows better the pattern in the fabric. I took off the label for care because it was showing thru: the care is to machine wash gentle inside a mesh bag or to handwash it. Man made fabric This is a versatile piece size-wise. The mannequin (size small) wears it very nicely. Labeled a size large but I did wear it as a size medium. So best is to look at measurements & take into account the elasticized smocked part, Labelled size large probably because of elastic around collar & smocked part. Measurements in inches when flat & approximate: Pit2pit (expandable):14 Length:19 Sadly this French brand, a sign of quality, no longer exists, they could not compete w/the cheap quality & prices of fast fashion. So this a rare piece which will increase in value over the years. Knackmixing ideas: Goes well with the blue & brown Rene Derhy and the beige romantic boho skirts listed separately. Purchased in Paris in the 1990’s. EUC
