Vivian Vance’s Caftan Blouse by Don Loper

This colorful silk caftan-style blouse was owned and worn by Vivian Vance. Designed by Don Loper it features a floral painted-like pattern, 3/4 length kimono sleeves, side seam slits and a boat neckline. Viv gave the blouse to her little sister Lou Ann Graham who kept it for many years before consigning the piece for an auction held in Lucille Ball’s hometown of Jamestown, New York in the mid 2000’s.
