1930s ombre fade bolero jacket, pleated ruffles, pale lilac to discount lavender, puff sleeves, 1940s, medium size

beautiful 1930s/40s cusp bolero with natural fume fade, some flaws but fantastic effect.
acetate taffeta.

approximate 36" chest, with edges in front touching.
13.5" shoulder, but sleeves puff out WAY beyond that
11.5" sleeve
14" long

flaws:
the underarms have blue discount rings, both shown.
but when worn this doesn't show. the rings are ancient, bolero has been washed. they actually indicate the original color, a pale blue.
some minor small stains but the fabric shading really conceals most of this.
