A pale wisp of the late Victorian era, this exquisite silk blouse dates to the 1890s and carries all the ethereal hallmarks of the decade: soft leg-of-mutton sleeves, delicate hand-worked lace, and a moonlit jacquard silk that glows gently in the light.
The neckline features intricate lace insertion arranged in a classic late-19th-century square yoke, while the sleeves taper into breathtaking handmade lace cuffs. She’s airy, floral, and impossibly romantic. The silk itself is lightweight, faintly textured, and still possesses that shimmering candle-glow quality only antique fabric can hold.
This piece photographs like a dream.
Perfect for collectors, artists, historical costumers, or anyone who loves the quiet poetry of Victorian clothing.
Circa: 1890s–early 1900s
Material: Silk with handmade lace
Condition: Beautiful for its age, with gentle wear consistent with a 120+ year old garment. Some thinness, patina, faint discolorations, and a few tiny holes, but structurally sound and wearable with care.
Bust: 43
Waist: Free
An heirloom-level Victorian piece, ready for her next life.
