A sample corset to test a new pattern, crafted from silk-cotton satin, with coutil re-enforcement at the centre front and back, and cotton twill bone channels. It is structured with a mix of synthetic baleen and flat steel bones. It opens with a copper coated busk and eyelets. There is a flourish of embroidered lace appliqué at the bustline, with small sequins and gold thread.
This piece has a few notable flaws: it was cut on the wrong grain resulting in some rippling and pulling at the bone channels, the cotton twill tape used for the bone channels was mis-dyed and has a two-tone effect (not visible from the exterior), and there is symmetrical 'scarring' from the needle on the sides of the corset, where two bone channels were removedb (see photos). This garment is not stitched to a retail standard and has no labels. These flaws are reflected in the price.
