Embroidered cotton camisole, c.1905
This charming camisole is too pretty to hide. With its elaborate decoration and shapely style, it would be a perfect summer top for jeans. Savvy collectors have long known that lingerie from the Belle Époque is prettier than anything you can buy today.
The camisole is fashioned from white cotton broadcloth. The alternating panels of floral embroidery and cotton lace are connected with faggoted seams. The center- back is decorated with rows of pin tucks.
I love the jaunty flared peplum. The neckline is adjustable with a ribbon drawstring. The camisole closes in front with tiny mother-of-pearl buttons.
The seductive allure and delicate femininity of the fine floral pattern (4th picture down), as it adorns and caresses your body, will not be lost on the man in your life: be prepared!
The condition is excellent. It is clean and ready to wear.
The size is adjustable. It measures: up to 38" bust, 28" waist, and 18 1/2" from the shoulder to the front hem.
