Vintage Black Silk Blouse

A vintage ChloeSilk New York beaded silk top, richly embellished with cascading silver sequins and intricate floral beadwork, set against a sheer black silk base.

A truly eye-catching piece designed for moments that call for a little extra magic — perfect for New Year’s Eve celebrations, Christmas parties, festivals, and evening events where you want to stand out. The Art Deco influence is beautifully expressed through the structured, elongated panelling of the beadwork, creating a striking, sculptural silhouette that shimmers with every movement.

This piece is pure visual theatre — a cascade of light and texture, where thousands of hand-applied sequins fall in elongated vertical panels, framed by sculptural black beading that creates a beautifully fluid, Art Deco-inspired silhouette. The neckline is adorned with a raised botanical motif, almost armour-like in its construction, adding depth, structure, and a sense of movement across the shoulders.

Every angle catches the light differently — soft shimmer in shadow, full brilliance in sunlight.

This isn’t just a sequin top — it’s a constructed piece of textile art.

🔍 Condition

This piece is in good vintage condition, especially considering the level of embellishment.

Please note:

There may be occasional loose threads within the beadwork

Minor sequin or bead loss may be present in places (common with pieces of this nature)

Some very light, general wear consistent with age

Nothing that detracts from the overall impact — it still presents beautifully and retains its full visual drama.

A striking, high-impact vintage piece — shimmering, sculptural, and unapologetically designed to be seen.
