Antique Belle Époque White Cotton Blouse with Lace-Collared Capelet | c. Early 20th Century

$325.00

A beautiful and wonderfully unusual white cotton blouse with a romantic oversized cape-style collar, delicate lace edging, and a softly gathered peplum waist.

The blouse is constructed from a lightweight, naturally textured white cotton with subtle woven detailing. The dramatic collar extends across the shoulders and back, edged with fine lace, creating a beautiful almost heirloom or Edwardian-inspired effect.

Long, gently gathered sleeves finish in delicate cuffs, while the fitted waist creates a flattering shape before releasing into a softly ruffled peplum. The back is particularly charming, where the oversized collar becomes the focal point.

This is a wonderful piece for someone who appreciates romantic historical dress, French clothing, and the craftsmanship of antique textiles. It would be beautiful paired with a long skirt, tailored trousers, or layered beneath a vintage jacket.
