Longline corset girdle constructed from a single layer of red rosebud coutil with busk front fastening. Sample size corset measures 21" corset waist offering a gentle reduction. Ideally suited for someone with a natural waist of around 24-26"
SAMPLE NOTES ~ This item was made as a sample to test construction of a pattern inspired from a 1940s corset girdle. There are some stitching imperfections on the inside to one of the bone channels where the row of thread has slightly slipped of the edge and has been handstitched secure in place. Not noticeable from outside.
As this corset is boned fully over the hip there may be some restriction with wear. Eg - will have to perch on a high chair to sit.
