Victorian Black wool bodice. Stand up collar with black silk ribbon around the neck and a bow in the front. There are gathers under the neck they turn into tucks under the bust. Waist has a "V" both back and front. Sleeves are slightly puffy at the tops, and narrow at the cuffs. The cuffs have a black silk ribbon trim with a bow. Bodice is lined with tan and ecru polished cotton print. 11 stays. Front hook closure. The bodice is in excellent Condition. The only flaws I see are 4 pin holes on the collar. 2 on the left sleeve. One in the back about 10 inches from the sleeve seam. 6 pin holes in the front. This bodice otherwise looks new, maybe has never been worn. 24 inch waist, 30 inch bust.
