Condition
Very Good. The fabric appears crisp with consistent color. No immediate signs of pilling or 'snags' which are common in vintage polyester.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. Earth tones and 70s silhouettes are currently trending in the 'Grandpa Core' and '70s Revival' fashion niches.

Description
True vintage 1970s long-sleeve button-down blouse featuring a bold geometric and striped earth-tone print. Colors include shades of brown, tan, and rust orange. Signature oversized 70s pointed collar and buttoned cuffs. Classic disco-era aesthetic with a tailored silhouette.
Key Features
Exaggerated dagger collar, earth-tone '70s color palette, geometric 'op-art' style stripes, wrinkle-free material, highly sought-after Retro/MCM aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Construction techniques (serged interior seams), lack of modern care tags, and the specific 'feel' of vintage 70s polyester. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'picking' or snags in the polyester knit. Look for yellowing in the armpit area and ensure all small brown plastic buttons are present and matching.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop (best for vintage aesthetic), Etsy (highest price point for true vintage), or eBay (broadest reach).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Dagger Collar,' 'Disco,' 'Geometrically Printed,' and 'Earth Tones.' Steam the collar flat to emphasize the points. Photograph in natural light to show the true tan/rust colors.
