{"product_id":"reserved-custom-listing-bust-bodice","title":"Reserved Custom Listing | Bust Bodice","description":"\u003cspan class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy first encounter with a bust bodice was on Bernadette Banner's Youtube channel (she recreated a beautiful one from the Symington collection).⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSince then, I have seen a few different styles in various museum collections, but never one \"in the wild\" until now!⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis one resembles a corset cover in many ways. In fact, the Met Museum has a nearly identical piece they describe as a boned corset cover. ⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat makes this different than your typical corset cover is its interesting structure due to the horizontal and vertical boning across the front. This creates a smoothe “bust” shape, sometimes known as the Edwardian \"monobosom.\"⁣ ⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis added structure helped fill out the lightweight, unstructured shirtwaists of the era. In my research, I came across a slightly different undergarment of the same name, which was patented in 1889 for a similar purpose, for wearing beneath loose fitting jersey or \"Garibaldi Bodices.\" ⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe straps are open at the top, and they do not have any clasps, so I’m not sure if they were meant to be pinned or if hooks and eyes were to be added. I do not think the straps were meant to be tied. ⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is a string tie at the back, however, which means the waist is adjustable. It is made of a light cotton with lace trim. There are no labels or tags present. ⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e⁣⁣\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is in excellent condition with a few minor discolorations. ⁣⁣\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Please read +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis item is not new, and as such, it has wear commensurate with age.
