This corset is truly amazing. The boning is cording, rather than sprung steel or whalebone, in keeping with the "new" corset of the 1890's. This is in fabulous condition, very strong and wearable, with no problems, other than some wear to the long lace used to lace up the back. Even this is usable, as is seen in the photos. This piece is of such quality, it should be in a museum, but it's sturdy and stylish enough to wear.

onceuponathyme @classyvintage This is probably my best corset ... I have a silk ribbon corset that's pretty spectacular, too... and a few modern ones I love, but ... I think this is the best of all.

onceuponathyme @hotpantsrhoads Thanks so much, Heidi! I'm just about to embark - in 30 minutes! - on the 48 Hour Film Project, so I won't be on much, but this was a great thing to read before I have a 48 hour Posh Hiatus! Thank you!!!!! :-* (and I know what you mean - I do enjoy modern plumbing, but often think I was born in the wrong century!) Fortunately, we can now choose which century we want to "dress to." :-)

cavernata Yeah, @jessicarabbit13 is the bomb when it comes to hooking me up with awesome closets. I know your username so I've probably shared/come across your stuff before but glad to make a more personal connection. :)

onceuponathyme
onceuponathyme @alicatstrut Agreed! I had an antique store for 30+ years with a vintage clothing section ... and was a costumer for theater even back then, so I have WAY more vintage than I know what to do with. My last feature had a ballroom scene from the 50's with about 60 extras I had to costume, so . . . I'm ballgown central these days. :-)

cavernata @onceuponathyme I spent the last ten years conducting tag/estate sales. I'm backing off from that and focusing on turning my blog about tag sales into an online publication and resource about them. Your transition into costuming was such a great, natural direction to go.

cavernata Also, I HAVE SO MANY GOWNS, TOO. Mostly from wearing them to parties and events. :) They're hard to sell (and hard to part with) but when they find their perfect next owner, it's like magic.

onceuponathyme
onceuponathyme Yes, I agree on all counts! We don't wear gowns often enough now ... but then when a shoot comes up (we did the 48 HFP last weekend) and I need them - it's nice to have something to pull out of the closet. :-) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=822820324396537&set=vb.589081751103730&type=2&theater @alicatstrut

onceuponathyme
onceuponathyme @birdynlucy I think this might be my best historical corset. I also have a silk ribbon corset . . . looks like something a high class saloon girl would've worn - that's lovely, and an authentic black waist cincher that I believe is mid-Victorian. Both are fabulous,but ... this has an Elizabethan "taste" to it, even though it's clearly NOT Elizabethan. I love the patina, the bone buttons are brilliant, all the various lacings . . . just all of it is delicious.

onceuponathyme @sisyphus_7 I've had a corset collection for awhile ... I love them, but this is the most amazing. Or maybe the 2nd most amazing. :-) I also have a ribbon corset ... it's also incredibly beautiful, although in a completely different way.
Sep 02Reply
onceuponathyme
onceuponathyme @sisyphus_7 That's the wonder of this . . . It's PERFECT. Not even a button missing. I don't think it was ever worn. Even the coloring is completely even . . . as though from air, not from skin oils. Of course, this is some kind of cotton/linen/hemp fabric, rather than the silk ribbons that make up my other favorite, but this one is in better condition. I don't think I'd try lacing the laces tightly, though ... the lace is the only part that seems a bit weak to me. Fine for just lacing it up, but it wouldn't do for tight lacing.

onceuponathyme @jezabelinhell Isn't it a dream? I can't wear it anymore. I had quite the corset collection before life happened to me ... This is the best one, I think - although I have a silk ribbon corset from probably the mid-1800's that screams "I was a saloon girl, but now i'm gettin' married..." that is pretty fabulous, as well ... :-)
