Corset 1895 - 1905

This pale pink silk corset, crafted by Stern Brothers between 1895 and 1905, is a testament to the fashionable constraints of the late 19th century. The delicate lace trim and satin fabric, along with the intricate boning structure, showcase the craftsmanship and beauty associated with corsetry during this era. This piece is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, offering a glimpse into the history of fashion and the evolving role of women's clothing.
