This is another of my favorites! A beautiful green velvet bodice with silver buttons. It is in perfect condition except 3 stains of yellow near the waist. But it will go on display in 2019! It will have to be after the wedding dresses which I am hoping for a May 2019 display, so maybe this piece will go on display in September 2019. It is so nice to have such a piece in great condition!

| The cording around the bottom hem has a little spot where it has come loose. |

This wasn't the optimum time for trying to do any textiles. We were in the process of moving lots of books and what not to a new storage space. There was not much room left to work. When this piece is on a dress form, I will have to remember to take new pictures!
Ooo so pretty! I wonder if the skirt was velvet too.
