Antique Blouse in White Cotton

From the early 1900s, an Edwardian era shirtwaist (aka blouse) in bright white, crisp cotton lawn.

• Jewel neck
• Longer-in-front pigeon-bust bodice with chain-stitch embroidery at front
• Long, pointed, lace-trimmed sleeves have slightly puffed sleeve heads and groups of tiny pintucks along the length
• Gathered back waist with ties to adjust fit

Labels: none - almost certainly commercially made

Condition: strong and wearable with only minor glitches including a few tiny holes and marks (see photos). note that the back placket has no closure and will need a series of hooks&eyes or snaps (we will add them for a fee, please inquire) or buttons (you're on your own making the holes, please inquire about antique buttons).

*This antique blouse is freshly laundered and ready to wear.*
