This piece is an exquisite fine linen blouse hand embroidered with tiny stitches and buttonhole cutwork. Irish crochet hand inserts and
lace trim on high collar. It is a small size with an approximate 32" bust, 29"sleeve and a front length of 19". This lovely blouse has a few
issues, some are fixable and can be camouflaged by a bit of sewing, however I would recommend buying this blouse for either repurposing
into dolls clothes, boudoir pillow or for study. It is quite clean for its age, circa 1900, with some small stains, tears/holes on the arms and holes. It has seven small
MOP buttons for closure.
