1930s era art deco embroidered peasant blouse

Lattice work embroidery on the sleeves

Smocked neckline and waist

This is made of a semi sheer rayon crepe

Chicago had a large Czech population in the earlier half of the last century, and though I’ve often found these lovely vintage blouses this is the first one I’ve ever seen with embroidered strawberries

This is gently worn in good condition , there are several spots of wear on the front of the blouse and another on one of the puff sleeves and a tiny pin hole on the back

This has been hand washed and it can be hand washed again . It is structurally sound

Approx measurements bust to 40” waist to 30 length 18”
