This Star Group blouse exemplifies that tradition through exceptional surface embellishment rather than printed design, elevating the garment into wearable textile art. As heavily hand-embellished vintage pieces become increasingly scarce, examples that retain their vibrant color, intricate beadwork, and sculptural presence continue to stand out as highly collectible expressions of 1970s craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mon Luxe Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43764510588987,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/9056\/6715\/files\/IMG_6085-Photoroom.jpg?v=1783638532","url":"https:\/\/monluxevintage.com\/products\/vintage-1970s-peacock-sequin-top-by-star-group-hand-beaded-statement-blouse","provider":"Mon Luxe Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
