1884 Burgundy Silk Bodice

Knowlesville
1880 Burgundy Silk Bodice

Date: c.1884

Modeled by: Heather

Location: Parlor of our 1914 Bungalow in San Jose

Price: Not for sale


This bodice was purchased in Bath, England at an antique store that had a huge collection of Victorian clothing. It was also the first garment from the collection that Matt photographed. We met Heather during a fashion show and seeing how petite she was we asked her if she would be interested in modeling some of the clothes in Lori’s collection. At first the photos were put into a scrapbook, but later we decided to put them on a web site so everyone could enjoy them.

It pairs well with the 1880 Black Beaded Capelet shown in the last three photos.
