Hello, teachers!!

(1) A beautiful lady in a black blouse came to me.
(2) A beautiful lady for a black blouse came to me.
(3) A beautiful lady at a black blouse came to me.
(4) A beautiful lady into a black blouse came to me.

Are all sentences correct?
In my opinion, (1) is correct, so how about other things?

Thank you in advance.

Only the first one is correct. The other three make no sense.

You could also say A beautiful lady wearing a black blouse came to me.
