An exceptionally rare and exquisite restored Edwardian blouse (c. 1900–1910) of extraordinary construction: a fine silk inner layer is overlaid with a delicate woven net fabric with a subtle floral and geometric design woven directly into it, creating a luminous, layered effect that catches the light beautifully. The high frill collar, long sleeves with lace-edged cuffs, pin-tucked front panels, and a self-tie ribbon at the waist complete this breathtaking piece.
Two-layer construction of this kind — silk beneath a woven net overlay — was the height of Edwardian luxury dressing. The net gives the blouse an ethereal, almost ghostly quality while the silk beneath adds warmth, opacity, and a beautiful drape. This is a museum-quality piece of Edwardian fashion.
