Antique corset covers and camisoles
Explore antique corset covers and camisoles with lace, whitework and monograms. The selection brings together Victorian and early twentieth-century pieces in cotton and batiste. Compare bust, waist, length and fastening details, together with the stated condition, for a collection, costume study or wear where appropriate.
Construction and fit
Study the panels, seams, lace insertions and button closures. These details help you understand how the garment was made and how it sits on the body. Compare the actual measurements with a similar garment rather than relying on a modern size label.
Embroidery and condition
Monograms, cutwork and lace can be important parts of a textile collection. Inspect the photographs for thinning fabric, repairs, stains and wear around the fastenings. Where a piece is offered for study or display, follow the condition described in its listing.
