Description
A silver butterfly spreads across this black silk sequin top, with smaller trails of sequins following the loose, wing-like shape. The V-neck, open sleeves and pointed hem make the outline as much a part of the design as the embellishment.
A vintage butterfly sequin top with room to move
Dating approximately to the 1970s–1980s, this piece pairs a bold motif with an easy silhouette. Hand-sewn sequins cover a silk base, giving the top weight and a fluid drape. Silver and black keep the palette simple while the sequins catch the light.
- Large butterfly motif across the front
- V-neck and a loose, draped shape
- Pointed hem and open sleeves
- Silk base with hand-sewn sequins
Fit and styling
The recorded fit estimate is modern US 2–6. This is an approximate range; please ask for measurements and fit guidance before ordering. The open silhouette leaves room for layering, but the neckline and overall length will sit differently on different bodies.
Shown over a metallic turtleneck, it works equally well with a simple camisole. Straight trousers or a narrow skirt give the butterfly shape room to stand out. The turtleneck and other styling pieces shown are not included.
