This fabric has the look and feel of silk, but at a far more reasonable price. A great way for any women, even large women, to go strapless without worry. Well boned and fit properly you can dance in this garment without concern that your top is going to slide down. Gold corset lace and brass grommets complete the back. We did not apply a placket in order to better display the lacing.
Bones run side by side through out the corset.
Even the front panel is completely boned, the boning hidden behind the embroidered panel. Today we used plastic bone in order to minimize the weight that would be involved with this much steel. Note the tabs have been zigzag stitched, this is easiest when done prior to sewing the panels together. No pattern was used for these garments. I simply used the draping technique to come up with what is here.
