Finished garment - Tudor woman's silk damask covered stomacher or placard

• Finished garment
• Tudor Tailor exclusive

A stomacher or placard made for events at Hampton Court Palace in 2003 for events commemorating the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. The placard was then used for Tudor tailor presentations and is modelled by Ninya in The Tudor Child as part of a maternity set of clothes.

Made of paste buckram with plastic boning and one steel bone down length at the centre. Covered with silk brocade and lined with silk taffeta. The buckram stops a little way back from the edge at either side to allow it to be pinned onto a pair of bodies underneath. The design on the silk is a very pretty imitation of blackwork with gillyflowers.

No other garments or pins are included.
