Victorian 1880s Corset

An incredibly rare and extra special piece from our personal collection. As anyone who keeps an eye out for these knows— they don’t come up often and are hard to find in wearable condition.
This piece is incredibly sturdy and wearable for its age, and in wonderful condition. You won’t be disappointed adding this one to your collection.

Styled here with the straps around the neck, though they would have originally been hooked to the bodice.
Also styled in the second set of photos with an Edwardian yoke, which is not included in the purchase.
