4763 - c. 1894 Elaborate Beige Wool, Soutache and Pale Sage Green Silk Lady's
Winter Victorian Bodice! I prefer to sell complete dresses
or outfits, but then every once in a while I see separate pieces
that are museum quality or sculptural or artistic gems. I'd
definitely call this a work of art! Measures: 29" bust
with only 9" across the back between the armseams!!! That's
teeny-tiny!! I had to put her on my smallest mannequin, but if
you want a mouth-watering display piece... this is as exquisite a
bodice as you will ever see! Fine tan wool and pale sage green
silk decorated with scrolling corded wool and metallic in floral
design.
Excellent condition with the exception of the small moth holes in
the upper sleeve (see photos). This won't fit any human I know
with today's body so please don't assume you can perhaps squeeze
into it. But if you want to get lost in the detail and design
up-close....find her a place of honor in a corner of your bedroom!
SOLD - but on
display in Museum Category for Research/Display
