Women's Pirate Bodices
with turnbacks
Fully Reversible!
| We're so pleased to offer this extremely versatile and summertime-cool, sleeveless Pirate Bodice. It's fully reversible, so you get two bodices for the price of one. It also features two lacing points - one in the front and one in the back, for an extremely size-friendly garment. You will need to purchase two brooches or decorative pins (not included) to hold back your turnbacks, since sewing a permanent button in place will make it so the garment is no longer reversible. Garment is available in twill, or damask/dupioni. |
