Description-

The Theodora is cut to emphasize the waist and the hips while compressing the rib cage. It flatters the late 19th century style of dress, enhancing peplums and slim fitting skirts. Cut long over the hip with gussets, the Theodora also has bust gussets and ¼” spiral bones on the curved seams. The neckline in the front is set very low, about 1/2" above the bust line.
