1930s Hungarian Embroidered Blouse1930s Hungarian Embroidered Blouse A truly beautiful 1930s hand embroidered Hungarian blouse, made from a whisper light cotton batiste. The blouse features vibrant folk floral embroidery in bright tones of blue, orange, red and green, with chain and satin stitch detailing. The neckline is elasticised and can be worn slightly off the shoulders, finished with a red tie. Sleeves are short with puffed volume and embroidery panels, while the back is cut

The suede is no longer as supple as it once was but remains strong and wearable

and this is reflected in the character of the piece

No visible flaws

as an evening dress

Highly versatile fit

A few faint age marks on the silk base but nothing that detracts from wearability or visual impact

and the coat fastens cleanly at the centre front

combining sharp tailoring with fluid movement and an unmistakably sensual line

with a fluid drape and softly pebbled surface typical of the period

But she is such a special piece

craftsmanship and subtle cultural reference

Approximate fit: best suited to S–M
