If you use your personal actual measurements, you should always figure needing two inches extra for breathing room. Label- Escada by Margaretha Ley Closes with clear front plastic buttons down the front and at the wrists. The buttons have a silver center with a "EE" logo Fabric is a soft and fluid silk. Unlined. ConditionNo holes, or tears. I show a photo of 2 spots in the back logo. I did not try to remove them. I show 2 photos of thread pulls. One on the back logo area and one on the front left shoulder. These are hard to spot, especially the one in the back. I only spotted them after carefully going over this blouse with my flashlight. I also point out two areas on the inside of the blouse . They look like raw, cut off edges. This could very well be a factory flaw. I have looked at other examples of this blouse, and they are not evident. They do not affect wear and are not visible at all from the outside. What Diane Likes About This BlouseMargaretha Ley was a very interesting and talented woman. She had that elusive quality of elegance, beauty, talent, and style. She was a beauty queen, a Dior model, a seamstress, and a tailor. I like that she put in the work as a seamstress and a tailor before she began designing. She was truly the whole package. Her designs rank amongst the best. I would easily put her in the top 10 of vintage print designers, alongside Vera, Pucci, and Paganne. Her designs reflected current trends, but were also unique and original to her. She enhanced the current trends, never following. This blouse shows her attention to detail and quality. Note the double pleats at the wrists and the seam binding around the wrist opening. The pattern is complex and holds your interest, yet it is neutral enough to mix and match. It is loose and comfortable. Margaretha seemed to have a instinctual ability to know how to clothe women and it is that, that keeps her legacy alive. "The joy of dressing is an art."

I have a large amount of vintage clothing and I am always adding new pieces!
