Description

The curved front is kept in place by a triple layer of goose quills. These have been bound together by hand using a cotton thread.
The bodice is held to the body by means of a wide steel band at the back of the garment, linked together with tapes. The top of the bodice is edged with cotton lace, through which a narrow ribbon has been threaded.
