The pink silk lining is beginning to shatter, so I would suggest relining it if it is to be worn. The fabric is cotton and is alternately black with beige circles, then beige with black circles. Black lace inserts cross the bust area, followed by the beige and black dots and five rows of pintucks. The waist line has black lace inserts as well. The sleeves are also edged with black lace.
Closure is up the back with hooks and eyes.
This is a happy blouse, sturdy and in good wearable condition. The only problem I see is that the edging of the waistline could use some finishing.
