Gothic Queen Black Leg o Mutton Sleeve Lace Trimmed Bodice circa 1890s

Up front- this bodice/blouse confuses me. It *feels* old, when steamed it smells old, it has older metal back shank buttons. BUT it has machine stitching. SO be warned- this could be more modern than Victorian. No matter that- it's freaking incredible. Nipped waist, massive leg o mutton sleeves (I've added a little tissue inside to show). No flaws, obviously no labels, hand made. Don't miss this one.

Measures

 38" bust, 30" waist, 16" long to waist seam and 20" long, 28" sleeves
