About MeBlack silk tight fitting mourning bodice, which is buttoned down front from a close fitting stand-up collar down to the pointed waist. The back of the bodice festures short tails. The sleeve cuffs are decorated with black net lace and beads. The sleeve hems and waist hem are also edged with black net lace. The sleeves were originally covered with the same black lace as is on the front bodice.
