1880s 1890s Victorian *Altered* Nightdress Shirt

I I absolutely adore this blouse! Most likely starting life as a nightgown, a previous owner (perhaps in the 1970s–90s) altered it into a gorgeous blouse. It features a loose fit, a button-down front, and bracelet-length cuffed sleeves. Delicate pintucks, openwork, and embroidery run throughout, while the sleeve cuffs have added elastic for a beautifully shaped fit. It also appears to have been tailored at the waist and back for a more defined silhouette.

Condition: Excellent, with very, very minor wear to the fabric expected with age.
