Description
This front ruffle-trim bodice is crafted from sturdy cotton, chosen for its durability and breathability. The bodice features strong cotton lacings down the front, allowing for a snug and adjustable fit. Notice how the ruffle trim adorns only the front, tapering smoothly into a shorter back to provide ease of movement and a distinctive silhouette. This particular piece is available in Medium size only, reflecting the typical sizing standards of its era.
Fun fact: In medieval times, bodices like this were often reinforced with additional stitching or layers to withstand the rigors of daily wear, much like the armorers’ practice of layering metal plates for protection.
