Linen corset cover

Date

Description

Fine linen corset cover with seven mother-of-pearl buttons down the front center. There is a tiny pocket on the left side almost under the underarm which also buttons with one mother-of-pearl button, an unusual place for a pocket. The neckline and arms are decorated with handmade crochet in a diamond pattern. There is a white satin ribbon running through the top to cinch it in. There are princess seams in the back and two darts on each side under the bosom to create the shape.
