Late 19th-century fitted bodice with a strongly corseted silhouette, sculpted shoulders and elaborate black lace, velvet and beaded trim. The interior cotton structure preserves the original shape, while the dark outer fabric has developed a softly sun-faded tone.

Still wearable with care. The lace is fragile and lifting in places, with several areas of loss; there are also a few small holes in the outer fabric, including four on the sleeves.

Please do not expect the garment to be new or in perfect condition; there may be minor defects (used clothing).
