1980s | Esleep | Poly Cotton Blouse - 22

Description: Item: Original 1980s Esleep short sleeve blouse in white with blue striped contrast detailing at the collar, shoulders and button placket, finished with printed graphic chest and sleeve motifs. Boxy cut with a cropped, easy shape that sits exactly in line with late-1980s casual styling. The poly-cotton blend gives it a crisp, lightweight handle and helps the printed details stay sharp and clear. Older blends of this kind were made to wear well, hold their shape and keep their finish over time. Era: 1980s Brand: Esleep Condition: Very good vintage condition. Presents well with bright contrast detail, a clean shape and light, honest signs of age and storage. Provenance Note: This is a very good example of the playful graphic side of late-1980s casualwear. The striped detailing gives it structure, while the chest and sleeve prints add just enough colour and visual interest to lift it beyond a plain summer blouse. The cropped boxy shape is especially strong here, giving it that breezy, confident period look that makes pieces like this so easy to style.

All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed. Sizing Notes: Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit. Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale: UK 6 (30–31") UK 8 (32–33") UK 10 (34–35") UK 12 (36–37") UK 14 (38–39") UK 16 (40–41") UK 18 (42–43") UK 20 (44–45") For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
