Description

The listing, *VINTAGE CAMEO LACE BLOUSE* UNIQUE! Beautiful! MUST READ!!!! Craft, upcycle? has ended.

This unique vintage blouse has a GORGEOUS cameo made of lace sewn into it. This blouse is old & while it's supposed to be white, you can see the age of the blouse - as it has a yellowish antique tint on the shoulders/arms. However, the LACE & the CAMEO made out of lace are white & are not stained or damaged! I was thinking maybe a crafter/sew/knit/crochet could cut the lace part with the Cameo on it out & use it to make a new blouse or fix up a old one? It's just TOO GORGEOUS & UNIQUE to toss out!
View all the photos, I tried to take pictures at different angles to show the yellow tint
*Please note that I have NOT tried to bleach this. With bleach, or vinegar -that yellow may actually come out- I honestly don't know. I did not want to bleach it & ruin it with my uncanny ability to shrink, bleach & dye anything I wash- lol- so I will leave that up to the winner to do!
This has been hanging in my grandmother's closet for a VERY long time. I do not know how long, but I know it's been there for as long as I can remember. Dont know if she BOUGHT IT or MADE IT or even purchased it at a vintage boutique 20 years ago, who knows! I think the YELLOW tint on it is caused from years of hanging in the closet. HOWEVER the yellowish color, actually gives it more of a antique look!
There is no TAG so no SIZE. I'm guessing a SMALL or maybe a MEDIUM just by looking at it.
The neck comes up just slightly in lace & one button seals the back.
There is a small hole/tear in the back, see pic. It's not too noticeable.
* I would not sell this to Wear, Unless you like antique looking clothes. But I figured someone could use this GORGEOUS CAMEO LACE to repurpose & upcycle another piece! Or use it in your sewing, as some people make baby clothes, and doll clothes, blankets, or clothes & other things.
THE DETAIL IN THE LACE CAMEO IS BEAUTIFUL! MY CAMERA DOESNT CAPTURE THE SMALL DETAILS, BUT SHES A FULL CAMEO, HAIR, EYES AND ALL! BEAUTIFUL!

Questions & Comments

Also including this long piece of lace, that my gram had With the blouse. It's just a long strand of lace, I believe she used it as a shaw it's about 68" long, 11" wide, like a scarf. Maybe you can use it with the lace cameo to make a new modern piece of fashion!

Nice auction. Question. Can the cameo be easily removed without damaging the lace on the blouse? Fanned and watching.

Let me check - Great question! Come back in a little bit and check, I'll comment below.
You want to know if the laced Cameo can be removed from the lace without damaging the lace or the blouse... or are u asking is there a way of removing the laced cameo without messing up the Cameo itself..

yes, wanted to know if the laced Cameo can be removed from the lace without damaging the lace or the blouse. Thanks

Ok I checked. And im pretty sure you CAN remove the Laced cameo without damaging the lace on the blouse. You'll have to have a steady hand and tiny scissors or a tiny knife to cut the seams, but the laced cameo looks to be a separate piece, stitched /sewn ONTO the lace Of the blouse. The stitches are white- so you'll have to be careful not to cut the lace too- bc it blends in well. But if you take the time and examine the inside of the shirt- you'll be able to tell te difference in what stitches are holding the laced cameo on- and what's lace. If I could I'd take a pic, but I doubt my camera will pick up that detail. Ill try tomorrow tho. But- to answer your question- yes. You should be able to remove the lace cameo from the shirt without messing up the blouse -or the cameo. The cameo looks to be a complete separate piece, that was seen ontop of the lace, so neither the shirt or cameo will be Messed up if you just remove the stitches holding the cameo on. :)
