1899 1900 victorian black bodice

Black polka dotted silk bodice with the most incredible shape. this dates to 1899-1900 with its high structured shoulders. this marks the end of the shoulder sleeve detail before the sleeves start their puddling droop in 1901 . Condition is very good for the age and this presents incredibly well. Great for study. Some loss to the silk lace and the metal hooks and eyes have rust. over wise good. (antqiues are never flawless) Size not wearable. size is very small both in waist and bust and in length. . this is on my smallest form
