Woman from Valencia

Valencia

Blouse with sleeves trimmed in lace, corset stiffened with whalebones and two small openings on the bust to allow for breastfeeding. Silk skirt over a linen petticoat made with numerous frills to give it more volume.

The historical point of reference for this piece is the refined fashion of the 18th century.

The richness of the fabrics used to make the pieces stands out, in addition to the survival of the doublet which is similar to the corsets that stiffened the bodices of this period.
