Originally posted on December 17, 2009. Commissioned custom steampunk underbust corset. Core is two layers of corset coutil, boned with 1/4″ and 1/2″ wide spring steel flats. Busk is 8″ long. The buckles and edging are leather. The cover is a last-minute choice upholstery brocade. The first cover the customer chose didn’t work as well
