Late 1890's Blue Bodice

From the seller:

ANTIQUE BLUE SILK VICTORIAN JACKET WITH EMBROIDERED NETTING AND SILK PANELS

Dramatic Leg O Mutton sleeves, boned interior and hook and eye closures.

STUNNING
A great piece for study and design.

All measurements are taken of a flat garment

SIZE: L
Bust: 42" Waist: 30" Length: approx. 17"

CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition. The black netting is weak and has begun to shred. Some of
the hook and eyes need to be tacked down. No stains, rips or odors


From Me:

If you think these sleeves are dramatic...

Anyway, late 1890's. Probably about 1897 or so.
