A beautifully restored Edwardian camisole top (c. 1900–1910) in fine white cotton, with a fitted, corset-style silhouette and a full-length button front placket. The gathered lace-trimmed neckline and lace-edged armhole frills give the piece a delicate, feminine quality, while two standout details elevate it into something entirely unique: the buttons running down the front have been hand-dyed by the restorer, and the shoulder ties are hand-dyed silk ribbon — also dyed by the restorer herself.
The result is a piece that bridges antique construction and the restorer's own craft — the dyed buttons and ribbon adding a quiet, personal colour note to an otherwise all-white garment. A wearable work of art that carries more than one maker's hand.
