{"product_id":"corpetto-antico-ricamato-di-angiolina","title":"Antique embroidered bodice “Angiolina’s outfit”","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn my constant search for antique fabrics I sometimes come across real treasures, as in this case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A trunk from an ancient villa that contained the personal trousseau of Angiolina, a noblewoman who lived at the end of the 19th century.\u003cbr\u003e A real discovery, so many beautiful and perfectly preserved pieces, thanks to the fact that they were forgotten for over a century inside this trunk.\u003cbr\u003e Precious garments that tell us about another era, other lives, industrious hands that embroidered and sewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e And in their ancient nature, all garments are still wearable today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This is the sleeveless bodice that replaced our tank top and completed the petticoat (for sale in the shop). This one is also beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A bodice featuring trimmings and decorations in line with those of the petticoat it was paired with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Under the armpit, Angiolina's two initials, AP, are embroidered in English cursive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It features a square neckline and is edged with scalloped edges, like the armholes. \u003cbr\u003eThe front is closed with very beautiful mother-of-pearl buttons, the buttonholes are obviously handmade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Two hidden straps allow you to adjust the width in the front half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The width of the bodice at the breast level is approximately 45 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The bodice is obviously pure cotton. It dates back to the late 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It has been carefully washed but I did not want to insist on some small stains that it has in some places, because it is a very old garment and must be respected and loved for what it is. These are not defects but small testimonies of the age that this garment has.\u003cbr\u003e You can machine wash it on delicate cycle or hand wash, with mild soap. Air dry and do not spin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Cecibirbona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48672629981512,"sku":"","price":126.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/8153\/5157\/files\/corpetto-antico-ricamato-corredo-di-angiolina-camicia-donna-693.webp?v=1764962793","url":"https:\/\/www.cecibirbona.com\/en-gb\/products\/corpetto-antico-ricamato-di-angiolina","provider":"Cecibirbona","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
