Vintage Antique 1800s Womens Victorian Jacket, Large Size Black Silk Edwardian

Stunning Victorian bodice jacket. Jacquard Ribbon trim down the front, solid black trim at cuffs and hem and round the neckline. Hooks and eyes down the front, but just three at the top. Bottom potion has none and it appears as though there never were any. Slight leg o mutton sleeve, tapering to a cuff. Lined in gold. I believe the jacket is a textured silk, and the lining cotton. No label. Later 1800s. Wonderful rare larger size too! Great to excellent vintage condition, especially given its age. The lining is very sound with just some smudges and age spots and some loose threads in the armhole seams. Also, one of the cuffs is coming away from the rest of the sleeve at the seam. There are a few holes and worn areas in the main body of the jacket but only one thats an issue. It's a horizontal area where the threads are pulling apart about an inch long and it's on the back of the shoulders. I would stabilize it with some web or black patching before I wore this. And might as well do the others to while you're at it. Most of any repairs to this would be quite simple and easy to do. Also wonderful for a collection or display. Measurements when lying flat doubled at bust and waist. Shoulder to shoulder: 15" Armpit to armpit across bust: 39" Waist: approx. 31"--its open at the front and has a higher back and lower front so measurement can't be exact. Shoulder to waist at side: 14"
