A charming and wearable restored Edwardian corset cover (c. 1900–1910) in fine white cotton, featuring lace-trimmed broderie anglaise shoulder straps, a sweetheart neckline with gathered lace and ribbon trim, a full-length button front placket, and a gathered waistline hem that gives the piece a soft, blouson finish. A delicate pink ribbon threaded through the neckline lace adds a sweet, feminine touch.
Corset covers were an essential Edwardian undergarment — worn over the corset to smooth the silhouette beneath outer garments and to protect delicate fabrics from the boning. With its lace-trimmed straps and button front, this one was clearly made with as much care as any outer garment. Lovingly restored with visible mending that honors its long life.
