Early machine-made corset, c1886. On display at Harborough Museum.
Made from a black sateen-type cloth known an ‘lasting’ and lined with white cotton twill. Finished with attractive gold stitching with decorative hand-stitching at the top and bottom. Narrow gold ribbon is also slotted through the black lace trimming at the top front. One of the earliest commercial corsets.
This lace edging forms the main decoration on the corset. The ribbon threaded through the lace picks up the bold yellow of the reinforcing stitches at the top of the corsets boning.

To get into the spirit of Christmas I have chosen this very festive black and red corset.
Dating from 1900 and probably of German manufacture and boned with a combination of whalebone and flat steel. Made from black sateen and lined in white twill with casings and zone piece in red sateen. The decorative black flosswork is hand stitched.

Exquisite Flossing on this antique corset. Nothing beats primary resources. This one is labeled R&G dowager model circa 1875. Geeking out on flossing details. #periodcorsets #periodcorsetsresearch #corsetflossing #bespokecorsetry #periodcorsetsindetail purchased from @karenaugusta

Dating from 1900 this Lightweight busk front corset is made from light brown sateen lined in cotton and over-strapped with fawn sateen. This garment heralds the coming fashion change for corsets to the straight front of the early 1900’s known also as the ‘Health Corset’. It has a single long straight busk as opposed to the then conventional spoon busk. Across the front are double crossed straps for added strength. It is moderately boned with whalebone and split cane supporting the back lacing.
