These lovely blouses are VERY crisp and clean with the original tags! Absolutely no spots, stains or yellowing. My best guess is 1950s or early 60s, given the super frilly, feminine style. Betty Hill brand short puff-sleeved blouses are made of a great, raised, diamond-pattern fabric and feature a pretty and colorfully embroidered eyelet lace trim around the front ruffle. Fabric is some sort of cotton called "Parquet Everglaze" that is washable and wrinkle and soil-resistant.
One is marked size 12 and has the following measurements: bust 34 or 35", waist 30", front length 18", sleeve opening 11" around. Across back shoulders measures 13" from one sleeve hole to another.
The other is marked size 8 (a girl's size possibly?). Bust 32" max, waist 29", front length 15", sleeve opening 10" around, back shoulder to shoulder 12".
Note that these blouses have darts but do not look very fitted. Would be lovely as a set for 2 sisters or as a petite mother/daughter set. $20 each + shipping, or $35 + shipping for both.
