Description

An aqua and ivory colored women's bodice. There is aqua-colored embroidered detailing along the collar, the arm cuffs, and down the front, and interspersed among all of the embroidery are cutaways that reveal the ruched ivory fabric underneath. The bodice closes in the front with metal hook-and-eye clasps, and a ruched ivory-colored fabric dickey covers the front via metal snaps. There are two light green silk ribbons attached to the back of the bodice.
