Authentic Antique 1870\'s Victorian Blue w Black Lace Jacket Bodice Boned Small For Sale

Authentic Victorian era bodice (circa 1870s–1890s) is a stunning example of historical tailoring. Made of sturdy blue fabric with quilted trim details on collar, a rugged black lace on half of the front, on both cuffs and outside collar, ruffled or puffy style shoulder, the right chest has pleats, there is a a ribbon or bow styled decor, it features a structured, boned interior lined with the sturdy blue like the outside and just as sturdy of a black. The bodice is carefully hand-stitched, and the coat fastens with classic hook-and-eye closures at the front (double closure on this one).

* Genuine Victorian women’s bodice
* Outer: blue with black lace decorative trim
* Lining: the same heavy material of the outside with black of same quality
* Boned interior for shaping and structure

* Hook-and-eye front double closure
* Condition: Good antique condition with minor wear, a few loose threads on the inside wear inner liner meets the outside ( very easy to add couple stitches), structurally sound (see photos). I see no damage to material or the lace except the couple stitches inside. Has silk lining in the inside armpit area on both sides and still has the loops for arms to go through.
I did not clean this as i do not know the proper way for something this old. I do think it would clean up nicely though. You can see where the jacket was set on by the wearer is dark (back bottom) and on the back left looks a little darker as well. It is an amazing jacket just needs cleaning. No foul odors.* Approximate size: XS–S

Perfect for:
* Antique textile collectors
* Historical reenactment
