Helping Dating Antique Blouses

[DaisyandStella]

Hi all - I have a few antique white blouses and would love help determining era.

The first is a semi-sheer thin cotton with crochet lace designs and tiny cutouts and has a peter pan collar. It buttons up the backside. No definition / loose fit at waist.

The second is a thicker cotton with large embroidered cutout lace design at neckline. Sleeves are 3/4 with lace hems and the back buttons up with pintucks and also has a back sash to tie.

The third is thinner - maybe cotton batiste with embroidery, small lace insets and pintucks at upper bodice. Again the back sash ties and button closures with pintucks. Sleeves have some lace and pintuck detailing as well. Also the collar has what appears to be plastic boning to hold it up.

I usually look for the blouson bodice, but none of these have that so I'm unsure if they are 1900s / later?
Thanks so much for looking ~ Brooke

The first one looks WWI era, 1914 to early 1920s. The second looks around 1903 to 1909... The third one looks the earliest, circa 1901 to 1905. The high collar helps to place it in the earlier part of the Edwardian era. These are "ballpark" dates, but I feel are fairly close.

They are all very lovely.

The second blouse looks as if it was meant to be worn with any of a variety of detachable lace collars.
