Victorian Age Corduroy Waistcoat

Navy blue cotton corduroy waistcoat, the tailored ladies' waistcoat emerged in the 1890s as part of the fashionable 'ladies' suit', evolving from earlier, more informal jacket-bodices and reflecting a wider Victorian move towards practical, tailored dress for women entering public and professional life. This navy-blue cotton corduroy waistcoat has a relaxed fit, engraved wooden buttons, crochet trim and pockets. Unlined, it makes a versatile layering piece for cooler months, or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves period-inspired tailoring.
