Very Rare Antique bodice dating to the late 1800's
This is one of 2 matching bodices (see my other listings for the other)
The silk is Lyon, and is a gorgeous stripe and floral with vines of roses alternating
The bodice is partially labeled on the inside (the other bares the fill logo on the band)
Evidence something like lace may have been removed from ends of sleeves
Bodice is boned, and there are areas on the bottom where the boning is warped and bows out, and also where the silk weekend from latching the hook eye closures and ripped a little , I don't find it distracting
I guarantee you this is some of the most buttery silk you've ever felt !
Very petite
20" length
15" across bust
10.5" across waist
