Drab Green Silk Overbust Corset
Overbust corsets are non-conical, non-bra overbust corsets popular for modern wear. Historic periods of use range throughout the Victorian and Edwardian, and include all manner of piecing styles involving panels and gores.
This is a plus-sized Victorian overbust corset I made for a friend. It has drab green dupioni silk cover material, flossing, lacing panel, and split metal busk.
