Dating from1900 this Lightweight busk front corset is made from light brown sateen lined in cotton and over-strapped with fawn sateen. This garment heralds the coming fashion change for corsets to the straight front of the early 1900’s known also as the ‘Health Corset’. It has a single long straight busk as opposed to the then conventional spoon busk. Across the front are double crossed straps for added strength. It is moderately boned with whalebone and split cane supporting the back lacing.
