This amazing antique Edwardian era white pleated silk lace appliqué ruffle trim bell sleeve bodice blouse dates from 1910. It is made of an off white ivory color silk fabric with pleating, drawn thread cutwork, ecru cream color lace appliqués, chiffon ruffles and pink floral roses print silk moiré ribbon trim details. This fabulous fanciful frilly lace bodice blouse has a pouter pigeon layered trimmed front, a high neck lace collar, long full flared wide bell shape sleeves with pleating, chiffon ruffle trimmed cuffs, pink silk moire ribbon embellished trimmings, hook closures down the back. It did not have lining in the chest area so that was added.
Here are pictures of it on the dress form.
Original without fixing it up and repairs.
