Beautiful cream silk shirt-waist or bodice circa 1902-1903 with bishop sleeves and floral appliqués.

Shell shank button closures down the center back.

+++ Measurements +++

32" bust

22" waist

+++ Condition +++

Overall fair to good condition with some flaws to note:

* Faint stains throughout

* Small tears adjacent to the buttons

* Tear in one armpit

* Silk is fragile in places, mainly in underarms

* UPDATE: I found more tiny tears in the silk on the shoulders, likely from being stored on a hanger (this piece should be stored flat)

Best as a study or display piece, presents beautifully but likely too fragile to wear.
