Beautiful midnight blue velvet evening bodice with intricate soutache designs circa late 1900s to early 1910s.

Lined with luxurious silk, it has a structured, boned inner waistband and hook and eye closures up the center back.

At one time it had a black net lace collar (remnants can be seen around the inner neckline), but it has since been removed.
