Summary
A doll's boned corset made from cream cotton lined with stiffened cream linen. The corset is front fastening with six pairs of eyelets, but the lacing is missing. There are steel ribs at the front and back, and horizontal stitching on the front and back, and diagonal stitching at sides, enclosing fine, possibly wooden, strips to give support. All edges of the corset are bound by braid.
