This beautiful blouse is entirely hand made. All stitching has been done by hand including the French seams. It has been expertly done and must have taken many careful hours of work.
Made from slightly stiff linen in crisp white it has a neat collar and all the edges are finished with soft green bias. It opens down the front with frog fasteners and is decorated with appliqued baskets of flowers.

Condition
Good with some minor points to note;
- in some lights there is the most minor discolouration in some areas - so pale it isn't showing up on the photos
- on the left side seam - see photo - there are two rust marks and one of these has a pinhead hole in
- a couple of slight pulls in the linen
The blouse has been washed, pressed and is ready to wear. It was treated with RetroClean to try and remove the rust marks but they didn't shift so are there for good.
