Antique Cream & White Lace Sheer Blouse Top

This is a really beautiful piece, with a lace yoke and sheer, almost vellum-like body. It's rather on the small side, and perhaps would have been for a teen or young lady. There is a tie at the front, three metal snaps to close, with a placket to cover, and a button at the waist. There is elastic through the hemline, which would have once cinched the waist, but the elastic is elastic no more. You could replace it if you wanted. I opted to leave it as-is. I have to talk about the fabric. It's so incredibly sheer, and has such a fine hand. To me it feels like a very fine cotton, woven into this ethereal fabric. Really just so pretty! Antique, early 20th century, incredibly good condition. There is one tiny hole in the fabric a few inches below the arm hole. That and the dead elastic through the hem are the only flaws I can find. Armholes are 8 inches long when laid flat Chest is 18 inches across Length is 12 inches from centre neck to hem Dress form measures 36-26-36, for reference Always open to reasonable offers and happy to answer any questions!
