Lovely Silk Brocade c1898 Victorian Top. Larger wearable size. We are offering this as a separate, but it can also be purchased as a ensemble with the skirt that it came with (matching?)....just check our Victorian Inventory. The 2nd photograph shows the ensemble together. **This bodice is created with luminous silk satin brocade. It is fully lined and boned. The bodice closes in front with hooks. The neckline is ornamented with hot pink floral decorated black gossamer....it is over a pink silk. The sleeves are finished beautifully with a puff of the embroidered gossamer for the last 6 or so inches. C O N D I T I O N: Presents beautifully, is very sturdy and wearable. TOP: Very good to Excellent. A bit of splitting to the pink silk under the gossamer...not really noticeable. We picture this. A few reinforcements to the silk body...again not noticeable. The gossamer has some tiny holes or issues ..which you would expect...again this is not noticeable. S I Z E: Length 15" (not including point down front center), bust approx 36-38", waist 28", armhole 17" shoulder 13-14". PLEASE NOTE: We do not clean most of our vintage clothing, and recommend that you either wash or have them dry cleaned. Any issues we believe will be problematic we mention. Thanks, Maire et al |
