Such Intricate Work! Beautiful White Cotton Batiste Late Victorian Shirtwaist. Yoke of alternating Embroidered & Val Lace Insertion, with band of fine Pintucking. Back Yoke in similar detail.

As with all blouses of this era, front is fuller & longer (front waist gathering removed), with back higher, & its band of gathering still intact.
