Absolutely gorgeous piece of American History! Maybe a steampunk piece...This black silk velvet waist is very small but what it lacks in size is made up in exquisite embroidery. Also the way you wear it, if you do, is way too small for almost anyone today, but by letting the front fall, the waist can then be modified to be worn since the bust is about 36". It is in very good condition considering its age and has a few tiny imperfections but overall in fantastic shape. The last photo shows where hooks and eyes went but are missing. Completely lined in cotton. Approximate Measurements when laid flat - Pit to pit - 18" Shoulder - 13.5" Sleeve - 25" Waist - 13" Length - 16"
