I saw this on display at the V&A last week, it is really tiny! ‘Ribbon corset’ made from strips of cream silk satin ribbon connecting boning & lacings, metal fastenings. Made in England, ca 1895

This is what I am wearing underneath it all!

Circa 1780s stays, the original pattern heavily modified to accommodate my wonky rib, scoliosis and extra wide hip bones.
Linen with cotton and silk thread and cotton binding.

The underpetticoat is an old cotton bedsheet I thought was a lovely and appropriate color!
