- Description
- Bodice, c.1830s. Cream coloured cotton with brown and green abstract print. Natural waist height, round waist with point at centre front, long sleeves, corded seams. The round neckline has cording, as do all the other seams. On the front of the bodice, there is a decorative tuck of fabric that runs from either side of the centre front waistline in a curve to each shoulder. It is attached with a corded seam at its base. There is also cording on the centre front seam, and on the armscyes. The sleeves are narrow except for at the elbows, where slightly more volume is created with gathering on one side. At the cuffs there is a small band of fabric an inch from the end. At the bottom of the centre back, there is a self fabric rosette. Inside, the bodice is lined in white cotton. There is a dart on either side front, and all the seams are left unfinished. It opens down the centre back, and has flat hook and eye closures. This bodice for a day dress is entirely hand sewn, as sewing machines were not yet available.
