Late 17th century colonization brought a new trend into paintings, silk weaving, embroidery, and even interior designs - Fantasizing the Exoticism. Floral designs, exotic birds, and imaginary fruits dominated the fashions.

Early 18th century stomachers were pinned on to the stays, or alternatively laced through the tabs of the stomacher and the tabs of the inside of the bodice.

Perfect for theater, film, historical reenactment, historical fairs and services or as photography costume prop.
