Warner's corset style # 54 with a 20" waist (it is stamped 19 but actually measures closer to 20"). Interior is stamped " Warner's 54, boned with rust proof, medium waist". Fabric is a lovely Robin's egg blue damask with delicate lace trim on both the top and bottom edges. See the October 1899 ad below for a Warner's corset which looks very much like this one. |

Honestly, this web site is a bit expensive. If you found it helpful and would like to send a donation I would greatly appreciate any amount.
