Pre-Raphaelite shirtwaist

This blousey shirt was designed and whipped up in a frenzy of Victorian mojo after visiting one of my favorite shops in Berkeley, Lacis. While wandering through a historical pattern book, I found out the way the Victorian seamstresses made those beautiful blouses with the fluffy paunch in front, and I just had to try it; but I wanted to update it. Thus, it is sleeveless and has a bit lower neckline. It is made from a beautiful, gauzy, ivory cotton baptiste with eyelet flower embroidery. The aforementioned "fluffy paunch" gathers into a fitted band at the waist, and the back is very fitted with historically accurate seaming. Lace encircles the neck, with an overlay of intricately patterned baptiste. It closes with a row of antique shell buttons up the side.

It is light as air and perfect as a camisole under a suit, a warm winter party, or a stroll on a pleasant day. It is fairly transparent and shown here with my Degas Everyday Corset. I LOVE this combination. Click here to see it:

SHIPPING. Each of my garments is made to order. For this reason, please allow 3 weeks for me to make your item, plus shipping time. If you need it sooner, contact me and I will let you know if that's possible. Also, please let me know if you need it by a specific date, even if it's a month or more away, so I can make extra sure to get it to you in time.

SIZING. I use a semi-custom sizing method to make the garment that will fit you best without being able to actually fit you in person. Please specify your size (small, medium, or large) when placing your order; I will then direct you to a custom sizing tutorial on my blog. To read about how it works before placing your order, you can find the article here:

After this, if other measurements are needed, I will convo you after your purchase with anything else I need to make it as tailored as possible.
