Pieces by Lee Bender don't often appear on the market and are getting increasingly hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter doing our research we have found this gorgeous striped blouse (in a different colour way) being modelled by Jerry Hall (a modelling muse of Lee Bender) in the London Evening Standard in the 1970s. See image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a black and beige stripe it features big buttons in a matching beige, wide dagger collar\/ lapels typical of the early 70s style and wide blouson sleeves with a turn back double cuff with guess what? ....a big button! What's not to love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a versatile blouse that could also be worn as a jacket over a camisole or similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no fabric label and we believe is is a synthetic possibly acetate or polyester. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in excellent condition apart from three tiny pin holes in the back and one at bust level at the front (see images photographed over a white background). They are barely visible unless held up to the light and they don't affect it's wearability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blouse is labelled a vintage Size 10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe estimate this will fit up to  a current UK Size 10 However please see exact measurements below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBust (laid flat armpit to armpit) 36ins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaist (laid flat side seam to side seam)32ins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength (nape of neck to hem) 23ins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve (inner seam to fold point of cuff) 19ins However please note the sleeve is designed to puff\/blouson when fastened at the cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine Smith Vintage ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57161120219523,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/3855\/7999\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_16381aa5-fc9d-4d8d-96b2-c2c6bc9a93aa.png?v=1768332365","url":"https:\/\/catherinesmithvintage.co.uk\/products\/1970s-lee-bender-at-bus-stop-blouse","provider":"Catherine Smith Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
