Description

Antique Victorian Black Taffeta Girls Bodice.
Antique Victorian black taffeta girl’s bodice has lace ribbon around the neck, decorative pleated panels down the front, back, hem and sleeve cuffs and a button front. the bodice is longer in the front, and is lined in a waxed brown cotton.
Condition
AS FOUND, attic find, unlaundered, not repaired. Has large holes in both sleeves where it’s mostly the lining that’s visible. There are holes at the shoulders and in the front skirt, as well as some tiny holes sprinkled throughout. There’s a weird stitch in the skirt that gathers one side- I’m not sure if this was added later or part of the look, but it could be taken out- I’m just leaving it there though it’s about 4 stitches.
