A video of an 1860s bodice in my private collection. The bodice is black silk taffeta trimmed with black velvet ribbon. It has coat sleeves with a little puff on the top and the sleeves are lined with brown polished cotton while the rest of the bodice is lined in brown cotton sateen.
If you have any questions about the bodice, please comment and I’ll be happy to answer them.
Stay tuned as I will be re-creating this dress to use for living history.
