Vintage faux-Edwardian blouse with the puffiest of puffed sleeves

These are the sleeves that Anne Shirley dreamed of when she lay awake in her bed at Green Gables.

"Oh, I am grateful," protested Anne. "But I'd be ever so much gratefuller if--if you'd made just one of them with puffed sleevesPuffed sleeves are so fashionable now. It would give me such a thrill, Marilla, just to wear a dress with puffed sleeves."

Vintage Laura Ashley blouse with oodles of cotton lace and pintucks. Warm ivory color with an apricot undertone. 100% cotton. Note that the lace areas are not lined so you'd need to wear a camisole underneath or a JSK over this (or be very daring indeed!). 

My measurements, taken from existing garment (tag says UK size 10 / US size 8, but vintage sizes are often smaller than modern ones)
Bust: 97 cm
Waist: 88 cm
Shoulder: 35 cm
Length: 64 cm

I'm pretty interested in this shirt but are the measurements for the shoulders around the armhole size, or is it 35 cm from shoulder to shoulder? I hope you know what I mean?

Shoulder to shoulder - I added some images to make it clear!
