1900s White Brushed Cotton Chemise Tunic with Blue Embroidery
This sweet Edwardian tunic undershirt was most likely worn beneath a skirt and blouse as an extra layer of cold weather underwear. It has a triangular, loose shape and is made from a very soft brushed white cotton. The neckline features a very pretty blue embroidery star motif. The straps, possibly not original, are made of a thin ribbon material.
Condition: This is in generally very good condition with only light general wear to the cotton fabric. There is a very faint stain under the bust on the right side, which is barely noticeable and difficult to capture in photos due to its lightness. I have tried my best to show this in the pictures 9 & 10.

Sizing Guide
Sizing Guide
Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
