Here are the paintings that they reference to compare this bodice with- 1. Titan's "La Bella" and Rossetti's "Veronica Veronese. However, it is also still very much in style with Edwardian fashion, mainly the Aesthetic movement.

illustrations for Christina Rossetti's epic poem 'The Goblin Market' tend to be in the luscious Pre-Raphaelite style, Christina's brother, D.G Rossetti' artwork setting the standard, which makes Ellen Raskin's psychedelic interpretation (1970) all the more original.

Watercolour by Rossetti, probably 1880, just a lovely composition which you might not think of as Rossetti's; yellow and blue have a special relevance now https://t.co/12WOVCGK4F

A pop-surrealist twist of Rossetti's masterpiece - Lady Lilith. Much like the original artwork, this NFT dwells on narcissism, seduction and self-absorption. Obsession and repetitiveness remind the viewer of the transience of being.

Symbols appearing in D.G. Rossetti's 1866 painting Lady Lilith allude to the femme fatale reputation of the Romantic Lilith: poppies (death & cold) & white roses (sterile passion). He wrote a sonnet: Lilith (later renamed Body's Beauty) to appear alongside it.

I totally forgot about the Goblin Market. Thanks for the mental nudge! Haven't read it in decades. Will have to read your thoughts. (Didn't see it in my feed, sorry!) Have to add, Rackham's illustrations for Rossetti's words are a perfect match. 🙂
