The stomacherwas an essential part of women's gowns, from about 1570 to 1780. In its most basic form it was a long V-or U-shaped panel that decorated the front of a woman's bodice. The stomacher could either be part of the bodice or a separate garment that fastened to the bodice. The stomacher had two main purposes: to add decoration and to provide structure. Both decoration and structure changed with passing fashions over the long history of this garment.

This stomacher dates from the early Rococo period (ca. 1730-1770). Origin: England. Colorful threads have been embroidered on pink silk. Motifs reminiscent of flowers and wings. One marked area that has not yet been embroidered. In very good to excellent condition for its age. Subtle signs of age and wear.
