Edwardian White Blouse with Crochet and Embroidery | Restoration needed

Beautiful Edwardian blouse has the most amazing hand stitching, embroidery and crochet all over. A fine example of a blouse of this era. Does have some condition issues but overall is structurally sound.

Amazing detail all over this blouse:
*Crochet on Neckline and Sleeves
*Embroidery on Bodice
*Pintuck on Bodice and Tiny Pleats on Sleeves

Unlined and closes in the back with tiny snaps and button.

Condition: Good for it's age and wearable. Holes and stains down under the right arm and snags in the peplum on this side. Slight underarm yellowing and abrasions in fabric under sleeve on left side plus a larger hole in the peplum on this same side. See last images. A tiny hole just below the pintuck stitch on the right side of the bodice and scattered pinholes. While measuring the sleeve I noticed a tiny hole in the crochet on one of the cuffs.
