Broderie Anglaise Antique French Cotton Chemise. Medium/UK 12.
£75.00

Description
Such a pretty piece! Antique French cotton chemise with hand embroidered detailing to the neckline front and back. Really sweet mother of pearl buttons to the shoulder straps. Flares out from the armpits in a trapeze style, so it’s nice and loose and perfect for Summer. This piece does have quite shallow/ fitted armholes, hence the smaller sizing suggestion on it. However, as the shoulders un-button, I think a piece of wide cotton ribbon could be added to allow for bigger sizes and adjustable wearability. The neckline is beautifully wide, giving it an almost off the shoulder style on a size 12 (depending on the width of the shoulders of course). It’s in beautiful antique condition. Sized as a medium as is, and best fits a UK 12. Please check below measurements before purchasing.
