A corset of ivory silk satin made in France around 1910. The corset sits below the bust and extends down over the waist and hips, sculpting the elongated, slender silhouette fashionable at the time. The corset is lined in cotton, the front fastens with a metal busk, the back with lacing. The top edge is decorated with lace and ribbon. There is striking yellow flossing to the ends of the boned sections. Unboned satin extends over the hips with elasticated suspenders to the lower edge.
The corset is a large size.
Measurements
Top edge: 36 inches
Waist: 27 inches
Hips: 36 inches
Length: 16 inches
Good condition for its age. There is some faint staining to the satin. The silk has torn and is fraying in the unboned hip sections. Could be worn with care.
