Hand-Embroidered Fancy Bodice Fronts — Made to Order
Special commission bodice fronts, hand-embroidered to match your underskirt panels for a coordinated head-to-hem look. Each front is worked by hand and made to order, so no two are quite alike.
Four designs available right now, with new ones added regularly:
Queen Katherine Parr shown in crimson and black— made to match the replica Katherine Parr underskirt panel. A historical note for the accuracy-minded: decorated bodice fronts like this didn't actually come into vogue until roughly 15 years after Parr's portrait, so this pairing is a designer's liberty rather than a strict period reconstruction — chosen because it's simply stunning together.
Vines — Shown in royal purple with real silver--Based on the vine work in Queen Anne Boleyn's Book of Hours
Chevrons — Shown in Canary Yellow -- bold, graphic design lifted from Italian scroll work.
Bess of Hardwick— Shown on black with gold ready to add pearls, gem and spangles
Because these are hand-embroidered commissions, timelines vary by design and current queue. Message me before ordering if you have an event date so I can confirm I can meet it.
