There are two surviving corsets from Elizabethan times, and from Renaissance period in general: the corset of Pfaltzgrafin Dorothea Sabine von Neuburg from 1598 and the one from the effigy of Elizabeth I, c. 1603. This corset is based on the effigy corset.
This renaissance corset lifts and flattens the breasts and makes the waist look narrower. It doesn't actually make waist significantly smaller. The spiral lacing used in this corset was the standard lacing style in pre-19th century corsets.
The corset is made of plain weave linen and finished with washable suede. The boning is 6mm articifial whalebone; the boning of the original corset was real whalebone of almost the same width.
The suede was handstiched to cover the edges of the corset. All lacing holes were also handstiched.
The price for a custom corset as described here would be 728 €. The corset can also be made completely handsewn but the price is then significantly higher.
