Entirely hand stitched white cotton sateen lined with plain weave white cotton. Hip gussets and pairs of breast gussets. Corded scallops around edges of each section. Attached shoulder straps, set widely apart. Edges bound with twill tape. Brass eyelets. Busk section has no opening; either it never was there or the corset was rebound in such a way as to close it off although that is unlikely. Inked “A. L. Luckett” inside right back at bottom. Note the small size of the lower torso in proportion to the upper body.Collection
