Vintage 1940s Black Satin Costume Blouse order with Giant Balloon Sleeves, Offset Henley High Band Collar with Gold and Red Ethnic Trim/ Size S-M

A very dramatic black satin blouse of either rayon or acetate (no tag), thick and sturdy fabric. The cut of the blouse is very boxy and wide, and somewhat short in length - obviously meant to be tucked into something very high-waisted. The giant balloon sleeves are absolutely out of control! The cuffs fasten with little snaps for a tight fit around the wrist. Snaps also fasten up the offset henley closure that leads up to a high band neckline. Trimmed with sparkling gold and red geometric “ethnic” trim tape. It seems fairly likely to be part of some type of costume. The snaps are somewhat corroded, but functional. There is minor vintage order wear, but no damage to note.
