RARE Antique Edwardian Muslin Cotton Blouse

Exquisite and RARE antique Edwardian blouse in fine white cotton muslin, lovingly reclaimed and salvaged for modern day wear. The blouse features a wonderful sailor-style collar at the back, with delicate openwork lace and a very Downton Abbey-esque period silhouette. The soft long sleeves finish with elegant elongated buttoned cuffs.

The original blouse was given in more recent times a modern update, including its elasticated waist, and there are some historic repairs to the fine muslin fabric (please see 'Condition' for more details).  As a testimony to this piece's quality however, it remains fully wearable and is an amazing example of an antique garment that has been given a new lease of life.

SIZE: not tagged for size, best for S/M. Seen in photos on size XS mannequin (measuring around bust 85cm, waist 68cm). For reference please check the item's flat measurements below, ideally comparing them to a similar piece you own that fits you well.   Length (from top of shoulder): 44cm Shoulders (seam to seam): 38cm Chest (underarm to underarm, across): 57cm Waist: 31cm (elasticated, extends to fit) Sleeves: 55cm (slightly shorter than modern day average, also very pretty worn with cuffs flared open)

Very good antique condition. Please note that, as this is an Antique Edwardian garment over 100 years old, it presents some small signs of wear consistent with its age and history. There are some historic repairs to the fine muslin fabric (one front, two back, one on back R sleeve) and the odd tiny sign of age/ wear (pinholes / tiny micro-tears), price has been adjusted accordingly.

As a testimony to its quality however, this beauty remains fully wearable and is a lovely example of an antique garment that has been given a new lease of life.   __
