1940s 1950s Vintage Rojay Light Green Crepe Bishop Sleeve Blouse with Cuffs - Md to Lg
A lovely light green bishop sleeve blouse. This piece comes in a light green color with pin-tuck detailing in the front. It buttons in front and at the wrists with lovely faux pearl buttons. Fabric feels like crepe rayon, though there is no content tag. There are small shoulder pads inside and they would be difficult to remove, though could probably be done by a professional. I would recommend keeping them in anyways as they add just the right touch to give you that 40s look! Label for Rojay and says vintage size 38. It would likely best fit a modern size Medium or Large, but please see measurements. Look is meant to be a loose fitted and bloused, so keep that in mind for sizing. Model is modern size 4/6 for reference.

Good to Fair vintage condition- The top presents beautifully and I think it is very much still wearable as is. But it does show some overall wear. The most obvious issues, and the one that I think designated the “fair” is the discoloration towards the top of the shirt (especially the shoulders and collar). While I did clean it multiple times, I was unable to fully lift this issue - its likely due to how it was stored in the past. To the eye, when worn I think its a more gradual change in the color - so not as obvious as when you hold the hem up to the discoloration, but its still present. You can see the gradual change in the flat-lay image and then on the last 3 images I tried to demonstrate the stark difference with the hem. There are also a few other marks/spots to the piece as well as slight discoloration to other areas - like to the underarms. The buttons on the sleeves do not match the size or shape of the ones on the front of the piece, but I don’t think its super obvious when the garment is worn. Some loose threads and teeny pulls to the fabric in places. Some wear, as expected, to the inner seam allotments. Fabric likes to wrinkle, so hang it up as soon as you receive it.
All measurements are approximate as they are taken flat - for garments specifically this means where applicable (bust, waist, hips) has been doubled unless stated otherwise. If you are uncertain about fit and/or need more measurements please ask! If it is provided in the listing, models and/or dress form sizes are used as a point of reference only. Please remember that all bodies are different so always defer to the measurements I provide and check them against your own, preferably on a similar style garment.
