Description
Bodice, c.1905. Gold on ivory silk brocade. Formal evening bodice with long sleeves with slight puff, low square neck, and white chiffon ruffle trim. The shoulders on the bodice are spaced wide, forming a V neckline in the back and with sloping down to either side of the bottom centre front. A gathered and slightly puffed inner panel fills in the bottom of the square neckline at the front. The sleeves are lightly gathered at the sleeve caps, tapering down in a fitted sleeve to cuffs at the wrist with three bands of gathered ivory chiffon trim. The same trim is on the neckline and along the front panels to the waist. The waistband is made of a band of the main fabric, with one horizontal pleat running its length. The bodice points down at the centre front. Inside, the bodice is lined with cream silk taffeta and fifteen bones. There is also a label with an embroidered label that reads, "Sarah Fullerton Monteith Young / Mount Street Grosvenor Square." The lining closes at centre front with hooks and eyes, although there are also lacing holes along each side of the closure. The centre front panel folds over this and attaches to hooks and eyes at the right side.
