Corset

Object/Artifact

Entirely hand stitched plain weave cotton; started out well made but was laced tightly and ripped a lot: patched on the patches. Straps, gussets for bust; deep point in center front; hand stitched eyelets with reinforcments at center ones; no bones and minimal 'cording.’ 22” waist, 13” neckline to bottom.
