A lovely Edwardian corset
The busk clasps are stamped "ELITE"
36" bust / 26" waist (though label inside lower busk says "23")
Constructed with a total of 5 pattern pieces per side. Fabric is a single layer of grey cotton jean with seams sewn to the exterior and covered with the applied bone casings. 13 bones per side and is a mix of natural (likely baleen) and steel. (The center back, and side steels are metal.) Most bones applied in sets of three and each strip of bones has decorative white row of white zig-zag embroidery. The bust features rows of fine cording and more of the zig-zag patterned embroidery. The upper edge has a 2" wide white beading lace trim with grey tape insertion.
Center front length of 14" with a 11.25" busk. Center back length of 12.25" with 11 grommets per side evenly spaced at a bit over 1" apart. The lace trim sticks up 1/2" past the measurements I provide.
Corset is new old stock with the original size label is still pasted on the inside.The grey lacing is original. Corset is in beautiful condition with minor rust staining to the lower edges of the busk and some scattered rust spotting. The busk clasps are rusty as well.
