Joyce Sportswear made this somewhere in the late seventies or early eighties, back when the ILGWU label still meant union hands in an American factory. It's a black crepe blouse with a mandarin collar and a single button at the throat — the rest falls open in a clean drape. The kind of piece that works as a layering jacket over a camisole or buttons up quietly on its own.
