Antique Edwardian SilkOrganza&Lace Buttoned BowTied Peplum BranquinhoLike Blouse
About the Item
This antique Italian couture semi-transparent black silk-organza long-balloon-sleeved peplum blouse from the Victorian Edwardian period features decorative cut-work with topstitched lettuce-edged ecru lace inserts, which ventilate the arms and neckline, while acting like decorative elbow bands or darts to shape the gathered bust and crew-neck yoke.
The high gathered waistband in front detaches into ribbons in back to adjust the waist measurement and flare of its hem with a tied bow. Without a brand label or tags, the shirt buttons in back, while there are three matching organza-covered buttons to fasten each of the long cuffs. Approximating a U.S.-size 4, the top can also be worn in reverse by a small-chested woman, who could leave several buttons undone at the top.
The blouse construction is in excellent shape, while the lace is in good condition given some pinpoints of darkened coloration that may be possible to clean.
We acquired this from a collector along with a rare Veronique Branquinho iconic chevron-pleated skirt from the Belgian designer's first collection for Spring/Summer 1998, when we thought at first glance that this blouse was also designed by her. Instead, the collector had acquired it in the late 1990s from a Venetian antique shop that specialized in textiles. As both the early and late 20th-Century European garments pair well together, we encourage you to view our other listing to also consider the skirt.

- 1991 RunwayLook1 KatharineHamnett IridescentGreen FeltedCollar Fitted Skirt SuitBy Katharine HamnettLocated in Chicago, ILFor the Spring/Summer 1991 made-in-Italy collection of her eponymous London-based brand, Katharine Hamnett debuted this fitted elongated jacket skirt-suit as "Look 1" in her fashion show (see our photo of the video coverage). Her working-woman styled model was unexpectedly accompanied by a male model adorned in a cowboy hat, which suggests her power over a strong man. In a different color without metallic accents, this sleek three-button single-breasted lined jacket is paired with a matching seafoam-green tucked skirt with back slit. Immediately apparent based on the seven piped princess seams around the torso, the jacket is expertly tailored like Savile-Row menswear. It also has a speckled-grey felted collar, piped front pockets, and triple-buttonhole split sleeves. The skirt closes in back with a center zip with hook-and-eye fastening. The durable cotton-blend fabric, which is in excellent condition, is notable for its slight iridescence with a soft luster that links it to the reflective elements that dominated that colorful collection by Hamnett. We included photos of the suit lit by sunlight with yellow tones and in lighting with...Category
