White House Black Market Cold Shoulder Embellished Beaded Zip-Up Blouse
White House Black Market (WHBM) · Clothing & Accessories > Tops
Era / Decade
Mid-2010s (circa 2016-2018), identified by the 'Cold Shoulder' cut-out trend and internal black satin brand tag font.
Material
Polyester blend crepe; features silver-tone metal zipper and acrylic/glass faceted bead embellishments around the neckline.
Condition
Very Good. The garment appears clean with no visible staining; however, the zipper tape shows minor rippling and the beads require inspection for loose threads.
Demand Level
Moderate. Cold shoulder styles have peaked in trend but remain popular for bridal showers, brunches, and professional maternity-friendly wear due to the loose fit.
