Maria C. Vallejo: I will never know who owned this pretty linen blouse. I do know that she wore it to shreds and that she also made alterations to accommodate her figure. The underarms are tattered; she reduced the midriff width darts to a better figure fit.

Fair; Tears on both sleeves in the underarm area.
