Incredible early 1900s antique blue striped calico blouse in amazing condition considering its age. Entirely wearable; to be worn with care, but not in extremely delicate condition. Blouse has an inner lining with hook-eye closures from hem to neck. Narrow shoulders with gently puffed sleeves. Material is in good condition; no dried out areas or serious defects. There are a few rust spots here and there, and overall the age of the blouse shows. Pay attention to shoulders and ribcage measurements; this blouse fit the model in the bust but was tight through the ribs - model's rib measurement is 30" around at the widest point. This blouse could have the lining altered to accomodate a larger size if desired; there's ample material on the outside to work with.
*Model is 5'5" / 24" waist / 34" hips / 32A" bust / modern women's size 0/2*
