Help dating/identifying...what's the front and what's the back?! Haha. Would this be worn over another blouse? I'm much better at identifying 1940's and later, this early stuff has me a little stumped and I don't want to list it without much information! Thank you guys!
It is difficult to say with these photos but I am not seeing Edwardian. Perhaps a 1930s overblouse that would have gone over a dress.
it's also entirely single stitched, there's no surging whatsoever and some different thread colors as well that lead me to believe it was an early 1900's piece
also it's a silky material - the buttons look to be ivory or something similar. there's no tags or anything, I'd believe it's handmade.
