Looking for a black evening blouse

[mychinagirls]

Hi - Can anybody help please? I am on the hunt (in the UK) for a black blouse in satin or silk to pair with a full, floor length evening skirt from Coast. I am looking for a 40/50s vibe, Grace Kelly style. Ideally in a stiff-ish fabric and with a small, shirt-like collar (button up) rather than a wide neck.

Can anybody point me in the right direction, please?

Try looking for a black dupioni silk jacket with a nehru collar?

I am looking for something less formal than a jacket, more of a 40s style, with a cinched in waist and a full skirt. Any suggestions?

Might this work?

This is probably too 1930s-looking for what you're after.

This comes in several colours - but no black ...

I wonder if this is the kind of thing you want, OP? Black silk dupion - but made in India to your measurements. You could just find a good local dressmaker/tailor & get one made?

That's really nicely shaped. Worth a try, OP?

NEXT. TU have a mandarin collar blouse.
