Corsetry

A feed for corsets and stays and the structured bust support of our history. It is made by: Katrine's Thimble

I want this feed to be a place for all of us who love corsetry, be that just appreciating extant pieces, create our own, revel in the wonderful history and share it with our fellow enthusiasts.

Everyone is welcome here, and no discrimination tolerated. I encourage everyone to include ALT text on their images to be as inclusive as possible.

c1890 Busk front corset typical of the beautifully designed styles of this period. In black lasting lined with white twill. Features flexible corded hips and an intricate boning system involving forty-two cane strips and four tempered steels down the back lacing. Long spoon busk.  
The cane boning allowed decorative stitching to be accomplished by the recently invented embroidery machine. A skilled operative could safely pierce the cane strips without needle damage.  
The original sample ticket on the corset quotes the price of 20/6d per dozen.  
Waist 20" Depth 14" Symington Collection
