Dulcie's Blouse w/ Lace
"Excuse me, lass: Aren't you the princess disguised as a wench?"
Of course, any woman will look like a princess in our flattering blouses, but the matching lace at neck and wrist of this Dulcie is a dead giveaway to your true identity: Renaissance royal, Pirate queen, Medieval mademoiselle or Steam Punk siren. (This style also looks great with jeans or a peasant skirt--just sayin'.)
Hip length, to stay comfortably tucked in. 3/4 length sleeves. Soft cotton elastic for comfort. Neckline is wide enough to wear off the shoulder.
Cleaning instructions: Drop into well. If the frog who retrieves it demands a kiss for his trouble, be sure to get a prenuptial agreement first. After all, you are a princess.
One size fits most.
