Maine Historical Society

A copper or bronze and brown small plaid 1890s straight waist bodice, sleeves with a little fullness at the head, a standing, spreading collar, with a front inset panel - all of dark brown velvet. The ensemble likely included a matching skirt, perhaps the skirt paired with the 1860s bodice in previous slide.
