15 Dainty + Pretty Vintage Blouses from the 1920s That I Covet



Whenever I am at an antique shop, a vintage boutique, or even the local flea markets, I always hunt for pretty little blouses from the 1920s. They are rare and beautiful finds. I find them to be so sweet and romantic, ethereal even. If you don't want to appear too costume-y wearing a blouse from the 20s, just pair one of these gauzy pretties with skinny jeans and stilletos or ballet flats. (I usually prefer the latter)

  2. I'm a bit fixated with 1920's blouses, too... also Edwardian blouses and Victorian white cotton blouses and undershirts!
