4. Tucks and Lace Blouse

    The sleeves on this blouse are my very favorite part. About every two inches there are sets of six very narrow tucks. On the bodice there are nine released pintucks on either side of the lace and embroidery front treatment. Close to the armscye there are three folded and released tucks. The three scalloped lace galloons are beautiful; the hand-embroidered grapes running down the front in four places are even prettier. The back has sets of five pintucks spaced about two inches apart and it is closed with buttons.
