The age of innocence is relived through this exquisite example of a Victorian bodice! This petite beauty is comprised of black and ivory silk backed with a milk chocolate brown cotton. The ivory silk on the yoke and cuffs is overlayed with black net lace topped off with small clusters of black sequins and trimmed with an ivory silk ruffle. Inside the bodice are boning channels that presumably contain the original whale boning (though we have not cut it open to check), and hand pinking details. The bodice wraps over itself closing on the inside with 12 hooks and eyes, 8 hooks and eyes under the left arm, and then three hooks and eyes on the left shoulder. This bodice is in good vintage condition, there are breaks throughout the netting and some missing sequins but no other holes, stains, or odors to note. Netting could easily be removed or replaced - condition is otherwise fantastic for it's age!
