Victorian Corset in Mauve & White Filigree Rhinoceros I have continued to collectI've always loved the look of a corset, whether it's the flat funnel shape of the Tudor and Georgian periods, or the exaggerated curves and nipped in waist of the Victorian era. Show your love for corsets with one cut from paper and hand embroidered, ready to frame and hang on your wall.
