Item Details

Very rare antique silk satin tape lace blouse. The previous owners/caretakers of this garment postulate that it was brought out to Australia from England by ship in the early 1900s. This heirloom piece is truly a labour of love; pieced together entirely by hand using ribbon and crochet to create lace, constructed into a blouse with openwork seams. Interwoven panels of ribbon form squares and helixes, with tightly coiled spirals threaded between. Three statement spiral buttons on front with press studs underneath.

Style as a layering piece or on its own, over palazzo pants, jeans, or a slip dress.

 As vintage sizing usually varies from item to item, actual measurements can be the most accurate way to determine sizing & fit. We hand measure all our garments. Measurements are taken in inches, with the garment laying flat and then doubled where appropriate for correct sizing (i.e. for waist & bust).

For best fit, we recommend checking measurements of your best fitting garment or your own body. Please get in touch if you have any enquiries regarding measurements or fit.
