Short Sleeved Blouse Appraisal

Coral Short-Sleeved Blouse with Lace Detail

This is a short-sleeved women's blouse, predominantly coral or a reddish-orange hue, appearing to be made from a lightweight, possibly jersey knit or similar soft, draping fabric for the main body. The textile exhibits a soft texture and considerable drape, leading to natural folds and wrinkles, suggesting a blend with rayon or a similar synthetic fiber for comfort and flow. The main body of the shirt is a solid color, while the sleeves feature an intricate, openwork lace or eyelet pattern in the same coral color. This lace detail is notable for its geometric, possibly floral or medallions, design, offering a textural contrast to the plain body. The sleeves are short, likely reaching above the elbow, and have a relaxed fit. The neckline appears to be a classic crew neck or a slightly wider boat neck. The construction suggests a comfortable, casual-wear garment. There are no visible maker's marks, tags, or signatures, though a small light-colored tag is visible at the interior back of the neckline. The garment appears to be in good, used condition, with some surface lint or dust visible on the dark cloth it rests upon, but no obvious tears, stains, or significant wear captured in this image. Its style suggests a contemporary or modern casual piece, likely from the last 10-20 years. The craftsmanship of the lace sleeves indicates a degree of manufactured detail, while the overall construction appears standard for ready-to-wear clothing, prioritizing comfort and style.
