| A later Victorian corset, made in cotton, with a yellow cotton muslin outer. It is boned with spiral steels, and has an opening steel busk at the front. The back laces. As with all my corsetry, the lacing holes are hand sewn eyelets over a (hidden) metal ring. The top edge is bound in green silk, with a narrow cream lace trim, and the bottom edge bound in cream silk. Please bear in mind in the photos below that it is bigger than the dummy it's on for photographing! |
| The petticoat is made in calico, and fastens by means of tapes. It has a slight tournure (the ruffles at the top), which are to aid in supporting the skirt to be worn over it. The petticoat is trimmed lower down with a strip of the same silk used on the corset binding, with a ruffle of the yellow muslin used on the corset outer, and with cream lace. |
