Elegant, chic, antique 1890’s Victorian Mourning black silk net and lace boned blouse with floral appliqués, stunning embroidered vines and florals. This blouse is fit for the days you want to fall like a dark, yet romantic, with both stand-out and classic beauty This is easily not just the most beautiful antique mourning blouse I have ever seen/sourced, yet sourced, it is by far in the best condition. No cracks in the pure silk lining, all of the metal hooks are in tact (not rusted), there are no pulls or holes in the fabric, and the cut out pieces of silk on the bodice and high neckline are all in tact - how rare is that?!

Classic Victorian high neckline, constructed from silk cut outs sewn together that extended into the upper bodice, which really creates mesmerizing, yet ethereal design. Black rose appliqués placed on the frontside that circle around the backside. Unadulterated boning found along the inside of the piece, in a condition that has been preserved so well, coupled with the inner silk lining not having any cracks, this over 120+ piece is here to stay and has lot's of life left.

The sheer balloon shaped half sleeves are embellished with hand-embroidered florals and vines. Darling trumpet frilly wrists that carry the same embroidery. There are hook and eye closures placed strategically in front of the garment, they’re all in tact, functional, and not visible.

Shipping & Returns

All sales are final. No returns or refunds. 

Each treasure is hand selected, thoughtfully curated, a rare and beautiful unique piece of the past. I offer detailed descriptions, measurements, materials, and photographs that accurately display the condition of every offering. My team and I work hard to restore and sometimes re-make garments back to a condition of excellence and longevity. I do my best to disclose any and all clear or visible blemishes. However, due to the true nature of vintage and antique listings, there might be subtle signs of wear, consistent with age. Here at Sacred Garden Vintage, we believe imperfect characteristics carry an inherent charm, and display a non replicable historical imprint. 

When making a purchase, you are agreeing to these return and refund policies. If you have any questions regarding any piece, send an email to Sacredgardenvintage@gmail.com, or, use the contact form to reach out with your inquiry before you complete your purchase. 

Shipping:
Items will be shipped out between 2-3 business days of making your purchase. If you need me to ship out the product the next day, please email me or reach out via the contact form.
