Short cropped bodices which were once part of larger dresses. Each has crochet frogs to button under the arms. To be worn over another blouse, tank or on its own with jeans. Customized in our Atelier Carpe Diem workshop.    

These are really nice old ones from the first quarter of the 20th century, and are adorned with extensive beading, silver coins, and old buttons. In some cases the backs or condition warranted replacement, and I have designed and used over-dyed printed fabrics in keeping with the style of the piece.

Pashtun ethnic group, Pakistan/ Afghanistan. 

See size range but these generally work better for smaller sizes.
