Early 1900s Bodice by Fenwick","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCirca early 1900s bodice with a label by Fenwick New Bond St, London.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn my research I discovered this department store is still open! Sadly the New Bond St location, which has been open since 1891, is closing down in 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis stunning piece has the most beautiful color scheme of grey, coral, and cream. It is just as beautiful inside as it is outside, fully lined with silk and covered boning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAt the caps of each sleeve, there is a kind of \"vent\" (for lack of a better term, which I'm sure exists but is escaping me). I have never seen anything quite like it before. It was made this way, and is not a flaw. I believe it would make for more ease of movement with the sleeves being as fitted as they are, and it is also a unique detail that looks quite interesting and stylish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLittle decorative knots adorn the front of the bodice, which is gathered at the waist with a small \"pooch\" for a bit of a pigeon front look, as was the fashion at the time in the early 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are only three hook and thread closures, two at the collar and one a bit further down just below the bust. No closures at the waist, and I do not see evidence that they are missing. Perhaps it was meant to be tucked into a waistband or belt and pinned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA very special piece and a real beauty. One of a kind! A fine addition to your collection and a wonderful study piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"product-single__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Measurements +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e32\" bust\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e21\" waist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Condition +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLovely condition overall with some minor age-related wear and flaws.
