This is one of the first times that 10 photos was on sale not enough to capture all the exquisite little details of a piece. Was not clear to me whether this was Victorian or Edwardian but a costumer friend guessed the latter. So much care went into the creation of this blouse and fortunately, it's all well preserved in excellent condition. I will let the photos speak for themselves and am happy to answer any further questions about the details. The buttons do appear to be shell, which doesn't really show up well in the photos. The blouse is shown here on a form with 35 1/2" bust I think it's a bit tight - probably best for a 34" bust. Other measurements (taken flat):
Waist: 25"
Shoulder to shoulder (back): 12 3/4"
Length (from top center of band in back to hem): 18 1/2"
