Maiden Bodice

Starting at: $162.00

Our Maiden Bodice is based, in part, on historical research into Elizabethan bodices. We have taken pains to make this bodice into a form fitting garment that will fit 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.

Features:

  • Front & side laces.
  • Adjustable Shoulder Straps
  • Square 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!
  • See our Bodice Measurement Charts
