Deep bust bodice in fine white cotton cambric with a tucked front which is frilled on the inside. This style of bodice was only fashionable for a short time during the late Victorian period. It lacked the support of the more popular styles of the period. However, it did provide the basic shape for the deep supporting bodices that developed during the first years of the 20th century.
