A lovely turn-of-the-century Edwardian blouse, crafted in fine, lightweight white cotton with an abundance of delicate vertical pintucks that create a softly sculptural texture throughout the bodice and sleeves.
The blouse features a beautifully shaped rounded collar edged with delicate crochet or lacework, a softly gathered shoulder, and a graceful button-front closure with small, period buttons. The long sleeves are particularly enchanting, narrowing through the arm before opening into dramatic, elongated cuffs finished with delicate scalloped lace edging.
The fine, almost translucent cotton and extensive hand-finished detailing are characteristic of the romantic day blouses worn during the Edwardian period. It has a wonderfully ethereal quality and would be equally beautiful worn today layered beneath a jacket or cardigan, or simply displayed as a piece of textile history.
