Wench Bodice

Starting at: $162.00

Our Wench Bodice is based, in part, on historical research into Elizabethan bodices. We have taken pains to make this bodice into a figure enhancing garment that will flatter a variety of body types. We have taken some liberties with history, however, so while you should not consider this a historically accurate item, it is an excellent modern interpretation.

This is our newest style, made specifically for those wenches out there who are looking for some daring cleavage and the convenience of front laces.

Specifications:

  • Front & side laces.
  • Sewn Shoulder Straps for comfort.
  • Sweet Heart Neckline
  • 4 pieces of 1/2" flat steel boning or 6 with Ducktail option.
  • Seams finished with your choice of bias tape then double top-stitched.
  • Lined with heavy canvas.
  • Bone casings sewn on inside of lining to prevent boning from damaging bodice fabric.
  • Extremely adjustable, comfortable and uninhibiting.
  • The option of a flattering back-point and 2 additional pieces of boning - The Duck Tail!

  • Model: wenchbodice
