wedding dress bodice
https://search.heritageburnaby.ca/link/museumartifact16553
- Repository
- Burnaby Village Museum
- Accession Code
- HV982.20.1
- Description
- Wedding dress bodice, c.1906. Ivory china silk with glass beads. Long sleeves and small round neckline. Matches skirt HV982.20.2, also in AB106-S27-3E. Under the small high neckline, there is a yoke covered in tiny pin tucks. It is in an oval shape on the front bodice and triangular in the back, and it is edged with a pattern of white and clear beads. The bodice back is plain below this, but the front has two layers. On the first, under layer, there is a centre front closure with hooks and eyes. On the left, the yoke is edged in beading and the rest is plain. On the right, the yoke is not edged with beads; it also angles further down towards the centre front. Below the yoke, the lining fabric is half exposed (on the side furthest from centre). On the fabric-covered side, there is a small patch pocket. The second, top layer is made of the same ivory silk. It is attached at the right shoulder, armhole, and side seam. This panel lays flat at the bottom of the yoke, edged with beads. It attaches with a hook and eye at the lower left corner of the yoke, and the panel was originally tacked together in pleats on the left side. The bottom is edged in beading, and would have hung in a curved shape. Under the top panel, the bodice shape is produced with twelve bones on: one large back panel, small back panel on either side, and one front panel on either side. The sleeves are long yet small leg o' muttons, gathered at the sleeve cap and narrowing to the wrist. At the cuff, there is the same white and clear beading pattern. Among the right sleeve's beading there is a single blue bead, perhaps for the bride's 'something blue.'
