Late Victorian 1890s Inspired Corset

This 1890s corset was my third attempt at making a corset and my first attempt at historical accuracy. I drafted the pattern to my own measurements using the book Stays and Corsets by Mandy Barrington and I have plans to use this corset as the building block for many more garments inspired by this time period in the future.
