This charming blouse was made in the 1930’s from semi sheer muslin in off-white, the hand embroidery is utterly delightful and so fine.
The blouse features full sleeves with neatly embroidered cuffs and fastens at the neck with a teeny mother of pearl button. It has oversized shoulders, designed to drop slightly off the shoulder.
A truly fine example.
