Irish crochet/silk chiffon blouse, 1930s
I have been holding this blouse back because I meant to restore it. Whenever a garment has an abundance of fine handwork and a pretty style, it is worth the effort to bring it back. Unfortunately I don't have the time.
With extra fullness in the bodice front, the blouse can be opened around the armholes and waistband to remove the sections of fabric that have the hole and underarm stains. You can also salvage the lace and decorative parts for another project or use the blouse to make a pattern. It is just too pretty to destroy.
It closes on each side of the waistband with fabric buttons.
The condition is very good. The hole under one arm is reflected in the price.
It measures: 44" bust, 31" waistband, 16" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, and 18" from the shoulder to the bottom of the waistband.
