A breathtakingly feminine antique white blouse with an elevated high neckline, intricate lace inset, and delicate floral embroidery.
c. 1900’s
The front features a long central panel of fine lace and openwork, bordered by beautifully embroidered cotton. The surrounding fabric is softly gathered and textured, creating volume through the bodice while retaining a beautifully fitted waist.
The high collar is particularly lovely, constructed in layers of delicate lace and embroidered fabric. Long, narrow sleeves end in beautifully finished cuffs.
The back is deceptively simple compared with the front, with a row of tiny buttons and graceful vertical gathering that emphasizes the waist.
This is a wonderful example of the romantic, heirloom quality of antique whitework—the kind of garment that feels like a piece of textile history.
