Vintage Butter Yellow Ruffle Blouse - Circa 1980s

A beautifully feminine vintage blouse in a dreamy butter yellow, featuring romantic ruffle details and soft prairie-inspired charm. Crafted from a lightweight cotton–poly blend, this piece is a rare find from boutique label Star Model (c. 1980s).

The blouse features a gathered ruffle collar, delicate tulip-style cap sleeves with gentle puffed shoulders, and a curved high-low hem finished with a softly gathered ruffle panel. A single statement wooden button closes the front, with a hidden butter yellow matching snap fastener for extra security. Semi-sheer and lightweight, it’s perfect for warm spring and summer days, we recommend pairing with a camisole underneath.

A matching waist tie allows you to cinch the silhouette, creating a beautifully shaped, cottage-core inspired look.

A truly special piece that blends femininity, charm, and vintage detail in the loveliest way.
