Edwardian Corset

Inventory #0136

Sweet Edwardian corset  with a 24" waist

Un-known maker, un-marked

 

Corset is constructed from two layers of cotton coutil with flat felled seams. A 12.75" long strait busk set within a 15" center front length. A sweet eyelet ribbon insertion lace trims the upper edge however the pink silk ribbon has broken and shattered in many places. Delicate feather stitching embroidery trims the top of each hip gore and flossing anchors the base of each corset bone. Corset bones are set between the fabric layers within the sewn channels. The corset is cut from five panels and a hip gore and has a one inch cotton waist tape. The bust features unusual horizontal boning set within applied casings.

 

Corset has some rust staining, garter clasps are rusted and the garters have lost all stretch. Two reversible tucks have been taken in on the the upper back edge of each side. The corset lacing is not original to the corset but is included.

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.
