Re: [h-cost] 17th century beaded bodice

Hi Debbie, Gosh this must be an unknown bodice to us! I have never seen or heard of it before. Also beading and feather pattern, is very interresting, and pink two. My guess is that it looks similar to the pale blue bodice of the London museum. It is a joy to all of us, that events like this
