Antique Belle Epoque Lace Blouse

Seriously one of the most beautiful blouses we've ever had.  Black netting with tons of lace applique and ruffles.  High neck.  'Pigeon breast' style front that is iconic of Belle Epoque high fashion.  Amazing sleeves with tons of frills at the cuffs.  Back hook-and-eye closure.  Lined with black silk.
