Finished garment - Tudor woman's silk satin and lace covered stomacher or placard

• Finished garment

A stomacher or placard made for events at Hampton Court Palace in 2003 for events commemorating the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. 

Made of paste buckram with plastic boning and one steel bone down length at the centre. Covered with silk satin and machine made lace in imitation of reticella. The placard is 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 lace at the top of the placard has a little light soiling - see second photo.

No other garments or pins are included.
