This is a digital sewing pattern for late Victorian ball bodices, worn around 1890.
The sewing pattern includes two different versions of a ball gown bodice from around 1890. The bottom edge reaches slightly below the waistline at the sides and is pointed in front and back, the squared neckline is piped and fitted with a drawstring.
