Ladies pair of jumps








From the seller:

 I am offering a wonderful late 18th century adult woman's pair of jumps, or soft stays (corset), today.  They are in wonderful condition, as shown, a very rare survivor of utilatarian working womans wear. Entirely hand stitched, the outer layer being a wonderful early indigo resist print cotton, with coarse linen lining, pieced as shown int he pictures above~ please click to enlarge them!  THis type of soft stay, or jumps, were worn at home before dressing , and for lower class working women, they were worn with a shirt gown over a skirt. Hand stitched eyelet holes at the front closing, with front edge bound in silk, with much wear as shown.  Measures 18" from shoulder to hem.  ****NO RETURNS**** so please bid accordingly, and feel free to ask me any questions! What you see above, is exactly what you will receive :)  These are very rare, and offered with no reserve~ dont miss them!

From Me:

Based on the print, I'm thinking 1790's for these jumps. They would just then be falling out of fashion for the higher regency styles.   Transition jumps!

  1. When the thing shows up you would have a thought whether you have settled on the correct decision, or possibly you need a littler or bigger size. That one thing will give you a thought of the estimating of the specific store, so in the wake of having 'tried' the measuring feel free to purchase more! repladies
