This passage describes a bodice (vest) from an older historical period than two previously mentioned examples:
Material & Cut: Made of red wool damask, featuring a wide back and a straight lower front edge.
Trim & Edging: It is bound (kvarda) with 2 cm wide blue silk along the neckline, front edges, and right armhole (the blue silk was likely removed from the left armhole). A different quality of blue fabric is used under the arms.
Lace Details: A 2.2 cm wide gold lace trim sits just inside the blue silk, except on the shoulders and under the arms.
Lining: Lined with thin, plain-weave, unbleached fabric (either linen or cotton), which is pieced together at the center back, on one front panel, and under the arms.
Fastening: Closes with a single pair of brass hooks and eyes at the bottom of the waist. There are no traces or marks of rings for lacing the garment.
