1890s Bridal Corset

This is my own take on the 1890 Celebrated Bridal Corset, held at Chilcombe House. For this, I drafted the pattern using Mandy Barrington's Stays and Corsets (vol. 2), with the corset made from 12 panels, 38 bones, and the busk at the centre front. Floral motifs were then embroidered onto the front, and flossed at each of the bases of the bones.
