Blouse - 1960s Organza and German Mother of Pearl
Sultry but chic is the theme of this skin-baring organza blouse. Timeless black organza gives a subtle sheen that sets off the “echt Perlmutter”, darker mother of pearl buttons superbly. The sheer weave promises movement and breathability, and black shade provides limitless styling options.
Fabric
1960’s American Organza. This fabric was sold by a woman whose grandfather was a pattern-maker for a NYC fashion house in the 1960s. She is in the process of reviewing and sharing his fabric collection for sewers around the world.
Buttons
1960’s German mother of pearl buttons. These mother of pearl buttons (“echt Perlmutter”) were made in Germany from dark shell stone and dyed blue. Dill Buttons was one of the most prolific button manufacturers in the 1960s and today continues to be headquartered in Barnauin, Bavaria. During the 1960s, there was a shortage of mother of pearl buttons — this may explain the popularity of dark shell stone during this time period.
