A beautiful example of 1780s stays…in pieces, ready to be assembled completely.

I always enjoy the view of a corset while it’s a work in progress. I am sure it will be gorgeous!

This one is by Sapphorama.

Jubilee Corset 1887

I am in love with the details on this corset! I wonder how may stitches could be counted…hand and machine creations. 
The choice of multi-colored flossing looks rather interesting to me, and it gives the subdued green a nice brightening effect in the various locations.

Decorate the boning channels on your corset with pretty flossing patterns like these!

CORSET FLOSSING SAMPLES

Aren’t these beautiful examples of colored corset flossing? Look at all the different patterns and intricate floral motifs. I would love to have a sample cloth like this one simply to own it and maybe put it into a frame for display.
