**Product Description**
 A standout 1980s Silk Scapes Hand Painted Silk Shoe Print
Top with a vivid red body, black yoke and sleeves, and a bright novelty print featuring
shoes, sunglasses, bows, buttons, and accessory motifs. The colors are saturated
and playful: red, black, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, and white.

The shape is easy and clean, with a bateau-style neckline, short sleeves, side slits,
and covered black buttons at the back shoulder. It has a polished art-to-wear feeling
without being difficult to style. The shoe print gives it a fashion-insider wink,
while the silk keeps it elevated.

The interior label reads “Silk Scapes Hand Painted Silks,” with a dry clean only
tag and marked size Petite. This kind of hand-painted silk novelty piece fits especially
well into the 1980s and early 1990s wearable-art market, where bold graphic tops
and silk separates were often designed to feel expressive, colorful, and collectible.

Shown on Dominique, who is 5’9″ and typically wears a modern high-fashion size 2/
4, with a 32B bust, 25″ waist, and 37″ hips. On Dominique, this has an easy, slightly
boxy fit with a shorter length. Best for a modern XS/S depending on desired fit 
and measurements. Please compare measurements before purchasing.

**Fit Notes****
 
Marked size Petite. Shown on Dominique, who is 5’9″ and typically
wears a modern high-fashion size 2/4, with a 32B bust, 25″ waist, and 37″ hips.

On Dominique, this fits easy through the body with a slightly boxy, cropped proportion.
The shoulder and sleeve are relaxed rather than fitted, and the side slits give 
a little movement at the hem. Best for a modern XS/S, or potentially a closer fit
on a small medium depending on measurements and preferred styling.

Please compare measurements to a similar silk top you already own.

**Condition****
 
Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age.
No major flaws are visible in the photos. Light natural creasing is visible in the
silk, typical of the fabric.

Style with:
 A black pencil skirt and pointed flats High-rise
jeans and a sharp blazer White trousers and little black sandals A mini skirt for
a playful 1980s look Tucked into tailored pants to let the shoe print read more
