Bodice
Quilted brocaded damask bodice lined with coarse cotton, printed in madder. The outer silk is a dark green damask, brocaded with a sprig in silver thread (file and frise), this silk probably dates from the 1690s but the quilting obscures the pattern. It is of high quality and could have been an expensive fabric, however it may have been used c. 1700, when out of fashion.
The lining is a very coarse woven cotton printed in three shades of madder with a formal lattice pattern with pencilled blue details.
The bodice is edged with a fine green silk ribbon with an additional outer fringed ribbon.
