Victoire Blouse
"I saw a vintage photo of this girl wearing worn in overalls and this gorgeous billowy puff sleeved top. I made up a story in my mind about her. Her weatherworn dungarees and an antique blouse that was her grandmothers who loved to garden."
DETAILS: Our Victorian-inspired Victoire blouse is an homage to timeless design and sustainable craftsmanship. Made from deadstock cotton dobby fabric in a soft pale cream hue, it features intricate lace inserts throughout the bodice and long puffed sleeves, giving it a romantic yet refined feel. The sleeve cuffs are adorned with rows of delicate pintuck pleats and functional buttons for a thoughtful finish. Ethically crafted, this antique inspired blouse is a beautiful blend of classic detailing and modern sustainability.
