| Front of bodice with trims |
The bodice on the 1820 archery gown is lovely, the trims, pleats and gathers make it really interesting and gives a quasi military feel I think. Definitely suitable for a British Bow Woman in he 1820s.
My bodice is trimmed with bias strips of dark brown silk and cotton velvet.
The bodice is lined with salmon pink cotton.
