Beautiful ecru lace Victorian bodice.

High neck is lace with a lace yoke that covers the shoulders.

Body is blouson style set on a 1 1/2 inch waist band.

Lined with silk and closes in the back with metal hooks and eyes.

Mutton style sleeves are long with 8 1/2 inches of lace.

A long piece of lace is attached to the back of the neck. I'm assuming it would be tied in the front or wrapped around the neck.

As for the condition I have found 3 areas of age discoloration. Two are on the front and one on the left shoulder. All are very faint and barely show. The silk lining has some breaks in the front near the neck and down near the waist. For its age this piece is in wonderful condition.

Very small so please check the measurements carefully.

bust 34"
waist 27"
shoulders 16"
sleeves 27"
