More Information

On the cream coloured stomacher the green stitching on either side are different colours of green. There are numerous tears and loose threads to the cream silk and some of the embroidery is loose including one double petal motif to the left side. The lower left hand side section is possibly an additional panel integrated with the design. Top flowerheads possibly missing some spangles.
Coral example appears to be in good condition. Green trim doesn't go all the way to the top on either side but could be intentional. Slightly worn curved bottom edge. One flower section appears not to have been embroidered, you can see the drawn outline. Reverse with some discoloration round edges and embroidery threads not left long.
