Embroidered tulle/lace blouse, c.1910
An Edwardian blouse, or waist as it was called, is a perennial favorite with collectors who like to wear their vintage treasures. Fashioned from white cotton tulle, this one is abundantly embellished with hand-embroidered flowers, handmade Valenciennes lace inserts, shoulder shirring, and multiple rows of the tucks the Edwardians loved.
The blouse closes in front with hooks and snaps. The crocheted buttons are decorative only.
The condition is almost excellent. A few pin prick holes, difficult to detect, kept the price down.
It measures: 38" bust, 26" waist (can be let out), 15" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, 22" sleeve length, 6" wrist circumference (room to let out and/or move the buttons to the edge), 16" from the shoulder to the waist, and 18" from the shoulder to the hem.
