Edwardian Lace & Tulle Blouse | Circa 1905–1915 | Hand-Finished Corset Cover Top
A breathtaking original from the Edwardian era (circa 1905–1915), crafted in delicate tulle and lace. This rare blouse was likely worn as a corset cover , layered over fine lingerie or chemises in the early 1900s.
It features romantic flutter sleeves, gathered tulle on the bodice, and a tiny cinched waist that fastens at the back — creating the graceful, feminine silhouette so loved in the Edwardian period. Entirely hand-finished, with soft patina and delicate lace edges showing light wear consistent with age.
Each detail speaks of the craftsmanship of the time: sheer layers of net, airy texture, and intricate lacework that glows under light.

PLEASE CHECK MEASUREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASE!
Vintage and antique clothing often differ from modern standardized sizes. Many were handmade for an individual, so sizing can vary. Instead of relying on a labeled size, compare the given measurements to a garment that fits you well. If you have any questions about fit, feel free to ask—I’m happy to help!
Condition - Care
• Vintage and antique items have been previously loved, so small imperfections may exist.
• Hand-dyed pieces: Due to the nature of hand-dyeing, colors may not be perfectly even. Please wash these items delicately, preferably alone or with similar colors.
• Antique fabrics (pre-1930s): Delicate materials such as 1920s silk or Edwardian muslin require extra care. These fabrics can be fragile and should be worn loosely to prevent stress or tearing.
Things to Consider for Edwardian & Victorian Clothing:
• A marked XS piece may have medium-sized shoulders and hips but a tiny waist (corset-era sizing).
• Sleeves are often ¾ length, not full-length.
• Buttons may be mismatched due to age and previous repairs.
Shipping - International Buyers
• Ships within 1 business day.
• International buyers: Please provide a phone number for delivery purposes.
• Import taxes/duties are the buyer’s responsibility.
