$95.00

For sale is this RARE wonderful antique Woman\'s blouse. This is from PARIS FRANCE, and I purchased it on a recent buying trip. This dates from the late 1800s - early 1900s. The blouse is all hand sewn and made of fine linen, with elaborate micro pin tucking detail on both the front and the back. There is exquisite white crochet lace detail both on body and the arms. There is is a gauzy underlayer that buttons down the back (not pictured as I didn\'t realize this was the case when photographing. This is elaborate and creative in a way unique to the French!The blouse is a small size, measuring Chest 30-32\" and has an adjustable waist. The sleeves are 22\" long, and the blouse is 16\" long. It is in very good condition with no stains. There are a few small areas of breakage in the lace, and a few areas that need restitching such as under the armpits and at the elbow, but these are simple repairs to replace lost stitches, not holes. It has been hand laundered with archival soap and line dried in the California sun.Be sure to check out the other wonderful FRENCH TREASURES I will be putting up for sale in the coming weeks.
