From Me:
I'm very curious if the Star of David was intentional or if it was just a design element. It would be very cool if it was intentional rather than just a pretty design. I don't think there is really a way to find out without any idea of the provenance of the item.

Looking at the sleeves of the extant bodice, there appears to be a slight amount of "puff" to the sleeves still - popular in the Turn of the Century. My guess is about 1899 or so.
Wow! and it didn't sell for $74? I would have bought that for studying. I love black and yellow together, and that's really interesting with the black lace over yellow trimming. *whimper*

Most of the bodices on ebay tend to go for only a fraction of what a full outfit would go for. I normally can buy a bodice for about $20 to $30 from the Edwardian era. I even have an 18th C English Gown bodice - where the skirt was ripped off- for about $80 at the time, I think.
DeleteBecause of this it will be significantly better which you could suitable studies just before manufacturing. You'll be able to create significantly greater guide that way. Clothing Shop
