An UpCycled corset from something old.

I used a silk Oriental style dress shirt that was coming apart from the seams. I didnt have a picture of the shirt, making the corset was an afterthought of trying to repair the seams. The Corset design was made from looking through old civil war garment books. This corset has flat steel boning, Lacing bones, A busk opening in the front, black grommets, Black lining and black bias edging. The pattern on the corset is peacocks and Chinese Dragons. Dry Clean only
