The Edwardian era marked a significant shift in women's fashion, moving away from the restrictive corsets of the Victorian age to more liberating silhouettes. High neck pleated blouses became a staple, embodying both elegance and modesty. These blouses, often adorned with delicate lace and intricate pleating, were designed to flatter the figure while providing comfort. The high neckline was not only fashionable but also a symbol of virtue and refinement, reflecting the societal values of the time.
Crafted from luxurious fabrics like silk and cotton, these blouses were often paired with long skirts, creating a harmonious silhouette that celebrated femininity. The intricate details and craftsmanship involved in making these garments are what inspire us at The Vintage Couturière. Each blouse we create pays homage to this rich history, combining traditional techniques with modern sensibilities.
