wedding bodice

This wedding bodice is beautiful. The material is a tussue silk and is as light as butterfly wings - just beautiful! The bodice has a high neckline with a large ruffle through the bodice - both front and back. Large material bows decorate each shoulder with another large bow decorating the center back of the collar. The sleeves are wonderful - huge and billowing - again, they remind me of a butterfly! The bodice is fitted and fully lined with 13 bones (see Lining/Petersham Views). The information printed on the petersham is not fully legible, but I can make out "Detroit Michigan" (see Lining/Petersham Views). The bodice is in good condition, but it does have some spotting which I have not tried to clean. The silk may have a few small tears, but is in very good condition considering the delicate nature of this material.
