Vintage 1910-20s Striped Cotton Wrap Blouse with Tatting
If you have seen a silent film, or an early "talkie" you have seen one of these wrap blouses. They are a genre popular in this period--starched with upstanding collar and just the tiniest bit of lace to keep it from looking harsh. This striped cotton blouse has cotton tatting (attached by hand) for lace on the shawl collar's edge and running down the front lapel.
Beautiful in its simplicity, it needs no buttons or other closure. It wraps to fit and is held in place with the waistband of a skirt (usually dark colored) and a wide belt--usually buckled in the back. (Because of its ample collar, it may have been worn with a vest. The sleeve's French cuff has no buttons either, cuff-links held it in place. There are, however, diamond shaped buttons at the top of the placket in the sleeve.
Worn by those charged with running a household--hired housekeepers, governesses and the like, and the ones needy enough or courageous enough to venture out into the work world.
This little blouse is is in excellent condition for its age. There are two very small thin places on the back in the waistband area, but not at all noticeable. There is one darn style mend on the front of the blouse at the waist area also, and should be hidden by the waistband of the skirt. Even with these mends, I would, (considering the age of the blouse), rate it at excellent.
Measurements are:
(Closed as Shown)
Across Bust Area:36"-38"
Across Waist Area: same
Sleeve Length:22" to French Cuff outside edge
Underarm to hem: 8 1/2"
This "Working Woman's Blouse" came from an estate in historic Bardstown, KY. and is truly a lovely little piece of American Women's History. |
