Yellow blouse with floral brocade and sheer raglan sleeves

A yellow cropped chiffon blouse with floral brocade and sheer raglan sleeves. The blouse features a wide neckline bound in one panel of bias-cut yellow chiffon. Both the front and back panel of fabric have been gathered and sewn to the neckline. One panel of yellow synthetic chiffon fabric with pale yellow floral brocade makes up the front of the blouse. Each brocade flower has a gold metallic thread accent. The sheer raglan sleeves are made from the same chiffon material and are gathered and sewn to self-faced cuffs that close with three sets of metal snaps. The hem of the blouse is folded under and handstitched to the lining. The construction of the back of the blouse mirrors the front. Two different types of synthetic material make up the blouse lining, both have been gathered and sewn to the bias-cut neckline. The front and back panels of lining are light yellow, and the side panels are made from a slightly darker yellow synthetic material that have an all over woven geometric pattern. The hem of the blouse lining has been folded once and handstitched to itself. All the seams have been machine stitched together. There is no label.
