Blouse. Made of beige-gold muslin, short, bloused, fitted at the waist with a belt draped in three pleats of green-olive fabric, lined. At the front from the top, an insert of tulle sewn in small horizontal pleats, passing into a stand-up collar lined with muslin, decorated with a single sewn-on silver metal string. The remaining part is made of gathered, double-folded muslin with a semi-circular neckline finished with a similar string. The lower part is decorated with a rectangular element embroidered with a metal string in geometric motifs. The shoulders are gathered with bias-stitched, loosely fitted, gathered at the waist 'overlays' in a kind of cape. The back is similar to the front with a full closure. The long sleeves are slightly gathered at the top, narrow, and decorated with a sewn-on metal string in geometric motifs. The blouse has a fitted, sewn-in lining of light cream taffeta, stiffened with nine bonings. The blouse has a muslin bottom with a fragmentarily preserved gray taffeta lining, stiffened at the front with a rubber stiffener of ten bonings. The waist has a grosgrain ribbon fastened with hooks and eyes on the inside with a woven tag. 19th/20th century, Poland. Dimensions: height 53 cm, width 43 cm.
