The bodice is typical of the period, with a lightly defined sweetheart neckline and deep v to rear. Fastens below this v with a series of small press studs, and hooks and eyes.  Tie belt in self fabric to natural waist, fastening to rear which completes the back interest. 

Measures: 

Generally good, clean and immediately wearable.

- Small repair to back fastening using original fabric.

- Front bodice right hand side I found two small repairs to slits in the fabric, near the darts, has been overseen onto buckram for stability?  - fabric integrity seems good overall so think accidental damage rather than deterioration. Luckily it’s a textured printed fabric so not so obvious. 

- Some slight colour variation between side panels and lower hemline when held together (see photo) but does not appear to be faded and certainly does not detract.

- Very faint watermark to inner underarm lining, but generally the lining is undamaged and unmarked.
