"Baroque"
The "Baroque Frock" has a boned corset-bodice in a pale gold brocade, based on an authentic 18th century shape. Cut with the 21st century figure in mind, it will fit someone of the proportions shown below. (Hidden elastics, as used in opera and ballet costume to accommodate lung expansion, increase the fitting possibilities).The fully lined corset has gold lace and pearls to ornament the bodice, combined with chantilly lace off-the-shoulder sleeves. The entire neckline is edged with gold pearls and the corset laces at the back.
