Edwardian Teens/WWI corset 28 "

   1910-1918 - Teens  corset.

This type of corset differs from the previous styles – its function wasn’t to create a small waist or a straight front profile, rather it was to smooth the body and streamline the silhouette so that the vertical, tighter fitting garments can follow the lines of the body smoothly. 

 This is my own personal corset and the first of this style i ever made - but i olny wore it a couple of times, since i am not really into the period.

 It is in a very good condition - only the suspender clips would have to be changed sooner or later. They are very loosely attached at the moment so easy to take them off completely.

Features:

* black corsetry broche ( 2 differents lots)

*quaity stainless steel busk, 

 *Mid bust, offering bust support

*boned with a mix of flat and spring bones 

*back lacing eyelets with washers

*waist tape

*edges bound in cotton

 *wide cotton lace  and velvet ribbon decoration

   Measurements:

bust -37.5" (95cm)

Waist 28" (71cm)

hip 39" ( 99cm)

Would best suit size 10-12, with natural waist of 30 -32", chest 39-40", hip 39-40".  Here show on size 12- 

The Teen corsets still have the standard 1-2 inches waist reduction built in – the reduction will vary from person to person depending on the lady’s built and body type. Please measure carefully – your actual waist measurement should be about 2 inches more than the measurement of the corset.  The corset does not need to close at the back - a 2-3"lacing gap is perfectly acceptable and historically appropriate.

 If you are interested with a corset with more or less reduction or decoration, please contact us asking for a bespoke order – more information on ordering in our Bespoke section.

Bespoke corsets of this type start from £400 and require 1-2 fittings
