From Me:

I swear this looks like home decor reject fabric but, when you see that museum tag on the lining... Well, no one using home decor fabric (including me!) would bother to go into that level of detail like finishing the inside edges...

Anyway, here's a fashion plate from the 1870's with a similar looking bodice:
