Edwardian woman's petite, Vintage linen blouse excellent condition
Item Number: 222
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Think of the early episodes of Downton Abbey and its Edwardian splendor. Over a century later, this delicate, off-white, translucent linen blouse from the early 1900's, in a womans petite size (bust 34"), still symbolizes a gossamer elegance. There is extraordinary care to detail- pintucks on the sleeves and bodice with a high, lace embelished collar and cuffs. In addition, the front bodice is hand embroidered. The back is gathered at the waist. Back buttons and hooks/eye closure complete the garment.
To have this wearable piece of history become a part of your own elegant ensemble takes only a winning bid. Don't let this rare beauty slip away...
