What a fabulous maker’s label! I just love old Lady Manhattan blouses. This one is from the early 1970’s or, possibly, the late 1960’s. The first thing that caught my eye was the print – then the styling. There are a few more clues that are the real truth revealing it’s era.
Although this one is casual, it still demonstrates the the classic elegance that was typical of this brand. Lady Manhattan always made lovely women’s blouses and was still in the marketplace doing women’s clothing into the Eighties, but I prefer their mid-century creations. Too bad Madge isn’t here to model – it’s just about her size.
What a treat! I come across these only once in a while, so I’m really thrilled. But then, everything I find is an uncommon treasure, so it’s rare or more rare and I get the thrill bumps a lot.
Hope you had a fabulous time on New Year’s Eve and are well-recovered by now. More tomorrow . . . . . . . . . ..
