Beautiful ivory/white antique lace and embroidery blouse with a high neck and buttons up the back.

Excellent condition for its age. It is completely wearable although it is a delicate possibly museum quality piece.

It still has the remains of collar stays to hold the collar up as Victorian blouses did.

There is gorgeous pintucking in columns up the back and at each sleeve

Lace panels alternate with floral embroidery

Waist is gathered

There are no major flaws. Upon very close examination there is one teeny spot at collar where the lace has slightly torn and one tiny hole under one arm but these are hardly noticeable.

Size is small. Measurement are: 16" underarm to underarm (32"chest); 14" shoulder to shoulder; 17" long

I am not sure if there is a hook missing are the very top back of the neck or if it is meant to hang as is.
