Vintage Long Sleeve Floral Embroidered Blouse – White Cotton

Circa late 1970s–1980s.

Step into soft, romantic simplicity with this beautifully crafted vintage long-sleeve blouse, finished in crisp white cotton with a gentle ribbed texture. This piece features delicate floral embroidery on the right front panel, adding an heirloom-like charm that feels truly one-of-a-kind.

Designed with a concealed button placket hidden beneath elegant front paneling, the blouse buttons smoothly from neckline to hem for a clean, refined look. The high neckline can be worn standing for a classic vintage silhouette, or folded down for a softer, relaxed finish. Subtle gathering at the shoulders gives the blouse a romantic, feminine feel while maintaining a structured, tailored shape.

Crafted from 100% cotton with a softly structured ribbed weave (similar to cotton faille), this piece feels sturdy yet gentle on the skin, the kind of cotton that only gets better with time.

A dreamy staple for any feminine, cottage-core wardrobe. Style it tucked into a floaty skirt, with vintage denim, or paired with tailored trousers for work. Wear it buttoned to the top for a classic silhouette, or leave the collar relaxed. Also beautiful worn open as a lightweight over-shirt layered with a camisole beneath. A true heirloom piece you’ll treasure for seasons to come.
