This truly stunning vintage piece with dolman sleeves that drape like butterfly wings. A piece of disco history you can wear for years to come. Clothing isn’t made like this anymore. Swee Lo designed butterfly top. Sequins on 100% silk EUC. The only flaw I see is a small portion of trim at the bottom back is coming loose. Approximate measurements Across bust 32” Across waist 22” Length to shortest point 18.5” Length to longest point 23” Here is the story behind the top (from Collector’s Weekly) In the last days of disco, everyone wanted to be that one-of-a-kind butterfly. For those disco butterflies still shimmying the night away, dolman sleeves and sequin-mania came together in the 1980s for one flashy blouse design. These silk tops, which usually featured a sequined butterfly design on the front and the back, were also cut into the shape of a butterfly, the short batwing sleeves becoming “butterfly wings” and the W-shaped hem brushing the waist. Some of the most beautiful butterfly sequin tops were made by Malaysian-born New York City fashion designer and couturier Madame Swee Lo who sold her designs in upscale boutiques and high-end department stores like Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Bonwit Teller. Her butterfly tops often employed stunning color gradients in the sequin patterns and could run you $180, big money in 1980s dollars.
