Antique Baby’s Bodice / Vest – Victorian/Edwardian

A charming example of antique infant clothing, this delicate baby’s bodice dates from the late 19th to early 20th century. Made from fine white cotton, it features sleeveless styling with hand-finished lace trim to the neckline and armholes. The bodice fastens at the front with simple ties and would originally have been worn as an undergarment beneath a gown or day dress to provide warmth and structure. Lightweight and well-made, with subtle signs of wear and age consistent with its history, this piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday clothing of babies over a century ago. A lovely addition to a collection of antique textiles or a thoughtful display item for those with an interest in Victorian/Edwardian social history. Condition: Good antique condition overall with some wear, fraying to edges and minor marks as shown in photographs. Dimensions: 28cm shoulder to shoulder 18cm neck to bottom. Christening.
