Spense Cold-Shoulder Crochet Trim Bell Sleeve Blouse
Spense · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Tops
Era / Decade
Mid-to-late 2010s (approx. 2016-2018 based on the cold-shoulder trend popularity)
Material
Likely Rayon or a Rayon/Polyester blend with a textured crepe or gauze finish; cotton crochet lace trim.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The fabric appears slightly wrinkled and shows some light wear from laundering, but there are no visible stains, tears, or major snags in the crochet work.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. While the 'Boho' style is evergreen, the 'cold-shoulder' specific silhouette has peaked and is now considered a slightly dated trend.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
Low: $8 | Mid: $15 | High: $22
Estimated Retail Value
$48.00 - $68.00 (Standard retail for Spense at department stores like Kohl's, Macy's, or Belk)
Comparable Sales
Similar Spense tops typically sell for $10-$18 on Poshmark. NWT (New With Tags) versions may reach $25, but pre-owned items often clear out at the $12 mark plus shipping.
Description
This Spense cold-shoulder blouse features an airy, textured fabric in a light periwinkle blue. The top is accented with delicate vertical crochet lace paneling and matching trim on the dramatic bell sleeves. Designed with a relaxed fit and a scoop neckline, it offers a bohemian aesthetic perfect for spring and summer.
Key Features
Trendy cold-shoulder cutouts, boho-chic crochet detailing, fluttery bell sleeves, flattering periwinkle color, lightweight breathable fabric.
Authenticity Indicators
Internal brand tag and size label present; consistent stitching. High confidence in authenticity as this is a mid-market department store brand not commonly replicated.
Flaws to Note
Minor wrinkling throughout; potential for thinness in fabric over time (pilling); check for loose threads in the crochet lace as these are prone to snagging.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop for a younger audience; Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping fees on lower-value items.
Selling Tips
Focus on keywords like 'Boho,' 'Festival,' 'Crochet Lace,' and 'Peasant Top.' Steam the garment before photography to improve perceived value. Because of the low resale price, this item is best sold as part of a 'bundle' or a 'buy one get one' promotion to move it faster.
