Antique 1890's  Victorian Or Edwardian Women's Blouse VGC Lace Embroidery

Description

This week I am listing a small collection of 10 vintage Madame Alexander dolls, and one cloth Cinderella doll, they were purchased in the early 1980’s to the early 1990’s. All of these auctions will start at so they can all find new homes and be enjoyed by a new generation. Some have never been out of the box, some have but are complete unless noted. Several of the boxes have damage, please look at all the photos of the boxes, if there is damage beyond the normal wear I have photographs. I am also listing 3 antique Edwardian or Victorian Blouses for adults, and some antique linen/muslin/cotton clothing for Antique dolls. I washed most of the doll clothing in Woolite, but did nothing else to them. They have been with me for many years, in some cases more than 50. Some will need care others are ready to wear or put on your favorite antique doll. I will be glad to combine shipping, and I accept returns if I have misrepresented anything. My goal is to clean out some of the items in our home, and to have happy customers. Please ask any questions you have, and BEST OF LUCK TO ALL!
This auction is for an Antique White Victorian or Edwardian Blouse. It is a lovely semi sheer fine cotton, with many pin-tucks on the front and back, with lace insets in the yoke. Beautiful sleeves that have an inset of lace at the wrist and an asymmetrical loose cuff. The left shoulder has hidden shell buttons, one hook and eye mid sleeve meeting bodice and then more hidden shell buttons to the waist. There are eyes along the base of the back of the blouse to attach to underclothing. The pinked bottom edge is raw. It is in very good condition for it’s age, over 100 years old. There is a small early repair patch at the base of the waist where the side seams meet, very little staining. One small area on a pin-tuck which I have not tried to get out, but does not look like rust, so it may come out easily. This was made for a petite woman, the shoulder to shoulder measurement is 12 ½”, bust measures 32” and the waist 27” the sleeve length from shoulder to the end of the flared cuff is 20”, from the top of the collar to the base of the back of the blouse it measures 13 1/2”. I bought these many years ago to use when making dresses for antique china head dolls from the 1860 time period. Still could be used for doll clothing or worn if you enjoy wearing antique clothing.
