Detail of lace from a corset produced in 1885, made from a fawn coloured twill, which has been interlined with hessian. It is supported by heavy string cording and has a spoon busk at the front. Part of the Symington corset collection.
This corset is made of sturdy herringbone weave fabric with lace decoration. The lace is crudely made with the loops all different sizes and large decorative stitches. It has been further enhanced with ribbon, although the top band of ribbon is now missing.
