Finished garment - Tudor woman's silk taffeta pair of boned upper bodies

• Finished garment
• Tudor Tailor exclusive

This pair of bodies was made as part of experiments carried out for stiffening Henrician women's bodies.

It is made from linen, stiffened with canvas and plastic boning covered with black silk taffeta. There is a thin wooden busk in the centre which has snapped and required replacing. The bodies fasten at the back with lacing through hand-worked eyelet holes. It functions as a stand alone supportive pair of upper-bodies to be worn beneath a gown.

No other garments are included.

Measurements:

Waist 29 (73.5cm) when laced closed

Bust 34 (86.5cm) when laced closed
