This is a beautiful top and the embroidery is stunning with the cream candlelight glow color as the backdrop. Can be worn in numerous ways. I purchased this blouse at a premium department store in 2014, so it's starting to get close to vintage status, and it was made with higher quality in mind than many labels today. The cut of the blouse is timeless. There are seams going up on either side for coverage. There are a few small flaws with some of the embroidery which is pictured. They are easily repairable and really not that noticeable when wearing because the blouse is just so stunning. This is hand-washable or can be dry cleaned to preserve the embroidery. It is an elegant, understated top, but it can easily work with a bohemian, Y2K, or 70's styling. Enjoy this contemporary look with charming Old World accents. Measurements: Length: 22" (from shoulder to bottom) - not a crop top, but definitely on the shorter side. Good to measure to be sure you are happy with the length. Pit2pit: 22:5" Comes from a smoke free home with a cute chihuahua that doesn't get near my closets. Am always open to reasonable offers.
