Description: A former model who learned to tailor in London, Vera Maxwell is considered, along with contemporaries Claire McCardell and Bonnie Cashin, the founder of the “American Look”. She was the recipient of several prestigious fashion prizes in the 1950s. This late 1940s silky rayon blouse showcases Maxwell’s award winning tailoring chops with its figure flattering darts and flirty silhouette. Versatile and comfortable, the watercolor hued palette will add a refreshing pop of color to trousers and skirts for work, and pairs easily with jeans for play. Good condition. A few scattered small spots and one less than an inch long stain on the front (close up last photograph) that is mostly lost in the fabric pattern. Six button back. Lightweight rayon has little stretch. Best fit likely sizes 6 and 8. Shoulder to shoulder is 16 inches, chest is 37 inches, waist is 32 inches, and shoulder to hem is 21 inches.
