Very special antique blouse circa the later 1910s, maybe early 1920s. Beautiful pink silk chiffon with beading and embroidery of shapes that look like crescent moons, diamonds and paisleys. Pintuck pleated front and long sleeves with buttons. Has a small label that says Lerner waist. Lerner stores started in 1917 so very possible its the same as the one we know now. Probably a medium. See condition.
Great to good vintage condition. Its wearable but very, very gently and probably best for a photo shoot or something. The armpits are both quite yellowed and have small holes. There are several other holes, most notably on a shoulder and at the cuffs, and smudges. See photos for examples hut there are more. Most of the beads are there but a few are missing.
Measurements taken laid flat:
Armpit seam to armpit seam across the bust: 40" to 44"
Waist: 30"
Shoulder to bottom: approx 16"
