This antique late Victorian to early Edwardian cusp corset was made from a sturdy, palest powder pink cotton coutil material. Beautifully constructed with intentionally place metal stays that create a flattened stomach and accentuated curves at the upper hips. This corset sits at the underbust, which is edged with a wide panel of intricate floral lace. Closing down the center front with hooks and lacing up the back with pale pink lacing. Two long adjustable garter straps adorned with large pink satin bows. A very special, highly collectible lingerie piece.
