Wonderful Net Edwardian Shirt








From the seller:

Inventory no: Wbl.1121

Absolutely stunning ,rich creamy white edwardian top,blouse .

This blouse has a fuller pigeon chest which would give a lady

that perfect s-bend silhouette that was so popular in late 1800`s.

The front part of that look carried into the early 1900-05.

The top has very tight fitting sleeves with extra long cuffs

Two tiny mushroom buttons finish off a very romantic sleeve.

There are seven tiny mother of pearl buttons up the front.

The peplum part has three demential tiny flowers.

Original silk belt is gone,it was attached under two flowers

in the back.

This top was original worn with a silk camisole.

Could also be worn as jacket.

From Me:

Based on the collar and overall silhouette, I'm saying 1910's for this piece.
