This modern corset reaches over the breasts in a beautiful curving shape and its bottom edge reaches well down the hips. The shape of the corset is between wasp waist and hourglass, meaning that is squeezes the ribs only slightly while the pressure on the waist is strong. The back of the corset curves higher than on many other corset styles. This style of corset supports the breast very well and reduces the waist easily 10 cm, or even more.
The corset shown here has a top layer of corset brocade which is further supported by another sturdy layer of coutil. The waist tapa has been hidden inside the layers to keep it from irritating those with sensitive skin. This corset has been constructed to be an undergarment and is suitable for long term tightlacing. The style can also be used as a top of an evening gown but then another top layer, perhaps silk brocade, would be added. The boning used is a mix of spiral boning and spring steel boning. There are 20 bones in this corset. In addition to that, the lacing guard is also lightly boned.
The modern overbust corset costs 640 €.
