VTG 1970s Kay Silver Fuchsia Rib Knit Acetate Blouse Canada Collared Button Front Sz 10
Vivid vintage 1970s Kay Silver blouse in a bold fuchsia rib-knit acetate. The unique stretchy weave creates a subtle striped texture, adding depth and sheen to the fabric. Designed with a classic collared neckline, 6-button placket, and long sleeves — an iconic silhouette of the era.
Label reads: Kay Silver, Made in Canada.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. Only flaw is one tiny pencil-point light stain on the front (hardly noticeable). Otherwise clean, strong, and ready to wear.
Provenance Note
Canadian label Kay Silver was known in the 1970s for fashionable yet practical pieces in innovative fabrics. Acetate knits of this kind were prized for their stretch, drape, and sheen, aligning with the era’s love of bold colors and body-conscious tailoring.
