Corset 1878 - 1882

"Corset" is a white cotton corset, likely made for a woman, that was created by Carlson's between 1878 and 1882. This corset is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The corset has a lace trim at the top and is fastened with white laces. It is a great example of fashion from the 19th century and gives viewers insight into how women's clothing was designed to create the desired silhouette of the time.
