By & By Lace-Shoulder Bell Sleeve Blouse with Removable Necklace
By & By (a JCPenney private label brand) · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Tops > Blouses
Era / Decade
Mid-2010s (approx. 2014-2017) based on the boho-chic bell sleeve trend and the inclusion of a coordinated "necklace" attached to the tag.
Material
Likely 100% Polyester (synthetic crepe fabric) with nylon/metallic lace inserts; lightweight, non-stretch woven body.
Condition
Very Good. The fabric appears crisp and the lace is intact without snagging. The inclusion of the original accessory necklace adds value.
Demand Level
Moderate to Low. While 'Boho' styles are steady, the By & By brand does not have a high resale premium and is considered a budget-friendly mass-market line.

$12.00 - $18.00
Estimated Retail Value
$34.00 - $42.00
Comparable Sales
Similar By & By tops typically sell for $10-$15 on Poshmark. NWT (New With Tag) items or those with all accessories intact can occasionally reach $20.
