Originally intended to be worn by a choir boy, this cotton surplice makes a great blouse! It is made by House of Vanheems, who were London based clerical tailors and robe makers. This has been very difficult to date, but most likely dates from around the late 1940s or early 1950s. It features a square neckline, a billowing body and lovely flared sleeves.
