1930s Black Chambray Work Blouse
Pictured here is a 1930s black chambray work blouse that we believe was likely handmade, or converted into a short-sleeve cropped blouse by its original owner. The fabric is a lightweight chambray in a deep, muted black tone. The blouse has a loose, boxy fit with a cropped hemline that suggests that it was tailored for practicality and comfort during wear. The front closure features mustard colored metal workwear buttons. This blouse exemplifies a Depression Era approach to clothing, in making practical alterations to extend the garment’s life with a focus on utility and comfort.
