Blouse with intricate lace details, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The blouse is made of an off-white silk. The blouse has a high, rounded neckline with a delicate lace trim that extends into a shawl-like collar. These lace panels are highly detailed, with a combination of floral and geometric motifs. The lace edges have a scalloped design. A central tied bow is located just below the lace collar, drawing attention to the chest. The back mirrors the front in its lace and pleat detailing. The lace shawl-style collar drapes over the shoulders, extending towards the middle of the back. The fabric's striped texture is prominent, and pleats add subtle volume. The sleeves are long and slightly loose-fitting, narrowing toward the lace-trimmed cuffs. The lace cuffs flare out slightly, creating a ruffled, layered appearance. The cuffs also feature lace inserts that mirror the design of the collar and chest area.
