Antique Embroidered Traditional Russian Peasant Blouse

This is a Russian peasant blouse from a traditional folk costume. We are unsure of its exact age but we believe it to be from the early 20th century. It's made from sheer cream cotton gauze and has a red, black, white, and yellow hand-embroidered trim. There is copper wire hand-sewn around the collar and the cuffs. It does up the back with ten small metal snaps. This blouse is clean and in excellent condition for an antique piece, with no stains or tears.
