Antique 1860s White Cream Silk Bodice with Netted Shawl and Boning AS IS. Here we have an incredibly delicate mid-1800s structured bodice. The exterior is made from an off white silk that shows the age of the piece with overall discoloration. A shawl of silk netting trims the sleeves and neckline. 11 pieces of bone are sewn through the bodice at the well tailored seams. Hook and eye closures fasten the center back with unique safety hooks at every 4th spot. 

This piece is in very delicate condition and should only be used for inspiration or serious collectors. As noted above the exterior is discolored and the netting has many tears. Some of the boning on the interior is poking through the fabric. The metal hooks have begun to rust slightly. All areas of damage are pictured. Please view all the photos prior to purchase. This is sold as is and we are happy to send along additional photos to serious buyers for clarification of the condition.
