Victorian mourning blouse, jet and lace
A stunning antique Victorian mourning blouse.
Made from structured black silk, it has heavily embellished cuffs and hem, decorated with extensive jet beading and black lace.
It is wide at the hip to allow room for the full skirts. It has a short mandarin style collar with a hook and eye fastening down the front.
It does fasten all the way down but our mannequins are all too large to show.
A particularly nice example. It spent some time on display at the Nottingham textiles museum.
Condition: Good condition overall, some missing hooks and hooks with rusting, small area of torn lace, repairs and wear under both underarms.
It has not been cleaned by us so may require cleaning prior to use.
Approx measurements: 30" bust 24" waist 22" length (shoulder to hem) 13.5" shoulder to shoulder 18" sleeve 40" hips
