Cuirass Basque by Emily H. May    

Make of cashmere or cloth, and braid all over with mohair braid.  Our design is sleeveless, but we give on the diagram a sleeve for those who may prefer it.  Bust measures thirty-four inches; waist twenty-four inches.

No. 1. Half of Front
No. 2. Half of Back.
No. 3. Half of Sleeve.
The dotted line shows the under-side of the sleeve, which may be used by those who wish it.

from Peterson's September 1875 pgs. 215-216
