Hand embroidered white Edwardian linen blouse.
condition;
this has been cleaned and the condition is commiserate for the age. I believe that , like me, the lady who owned this blouse was left handed as there are tell tale signs of ink smudging on the left arm. Though cleaned the ink did not lift. It is subtle but a lovely reference to the life this blouse must have had. from the fountain pen to the tablet!
Measurements:
overall this is very blousy so it is hard to get a true measurements.
the arms eyes are on the bigger side for hte period so I think this might be a medium or *possibly* a 'small' large. no defined waist but the back panel is 17' across at the waist. A tie is used to make the waist measurement .
Condition;
condition is wearable but not perfect. this was likely a home made piece. the hem is raw/scalloped and was made that way. it is missing a lot of hooks and eyes and you will need to replace good them. it may need othe small repairs as well. Despite being cleaned - this still has some yellowing around the collar. It's subtle but I can see it if I look closely. if you have questions please ask as all sales are final.
