Antique, Edwardian, corset cover reinvented as a beautiful summer blouse.
The top has the yoke and short sleeves worked in one piece of filet crochet featuring a floral design. Below the bust the top is cotton. It's trimmed beneath the bust with a strip of eyelet trim. You could thread it with ribbon if desired. The neckline has been threaded with very fine pale pink ribbon (not original). The yoke closes at the front with teeny tiny shell buttons. One larger button at the under bust, the rest of the front is open - you may want to add a press stud. Beautifully handmade item. 1910s-early 1920s.
