An exquisitely delicate restored Edwardian blouse (c. 1900–1910) in the finest white cotton, featuring a dramatic wide V-shaped lace collar that frames the neckline and drapes softly over the shoulders, a lace-trimmed button placket, a pin-tucked bodice, and long sleeves finishing in beautiful fluted lace cuffs. The combination of the gossamer-weight cotton and the generous lace trim gives this piece an almost ethereal quality.
The wide V-collar is a particularly striking design feature — generous, dramatic, and deeply romantic. Lovingly restored with visible mending that honors the garment's extraordinary fragility and age.
