Our 1880s Victorian corsets are the perfect foundation for fashions of the last quarter of the 19th century, encompassing both the bustle and Belle Époque periods. Though styles changed rapidly over these decades, they still emphasized an elongated waist with smooth hip. Compared to our 1860s gored corset, it has a higher bust height and a longer hip line, with boning over the entire hip to best suit the closer-fitted silhouettes of the period. Made with shaped pieces rather than gussets or gores, this corsets nips in the waist, smooths the hips and torso, and supports the bust without creating a dramatic modern push-up effect. It hits mid-bust, and this more natural bustline is historically appropriate. A drawstring at the top helps shape the bust edge. Details: Appropriate for 1875–1900 Cotton sateen fashion fabric outer layer English cotton coutil strength layer Front-opening steel busk Steel boning throughout Plus sizes (18–26) feature additional boning for added support, as well as an additional front seam to provide more shaping Center back lacing with two-piece nickel grommets Alterable lacing placket seams Our stays and corsets are based closely on historical pattern shapes and extant examples, but utilize theatrical construction techniques and modern materials to bring you an accurate silhouette in a sturdy, comfortable garment.
