Victorian Underbust Corset
This is a back-dated post for my archive project, where I am copying over every piece of art I have ever submitted to DeviantArt, with the original submission date or watermarked year stamp, so a complete archive of my work can be found on this website.
This is a very basic style of Victorian underbust corset, dating from the mid-1800’s. The cover layer is black linen, and the pink stitches hold the boning in place. The top and bottom edging is satin ribbon. It is custom made from beginning to end, without the use of a pre-made pattern. I originally made this corset to fit myself, but I have since gained weight (much to my joy) and I can no longer wear it comfortably. It does, however, fit one of my friends, so later on I will hopefully be able to upload some pictures of her wearing it.
