<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Born2it, post: 4403605, member: 59977&quot;]Gorgeous! I could have (and would have!) gleefully worn either bodice when I was in high school or college. Approximately 1900, definitely. Note the loose gathering at the front waist, which provided the pigeon front so stylish at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>And luxe enough to thrill the girlish heart.&nbsp; The lace! The ribbons! Note the velvet trim fabric matches the fabric used to cover the buttons, the pleating on the front and shoulders (requires much more fabric to make!), the subtle texture pattern of the primary fabric, the blue and gold ribbons edging the cuffs, blue and gold ribbons *plus* velvet at the top of the lace and lace on net collar *and* at the shoulders - !&nbsp; Be still my beating heart! &lt;swoons&gt;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
