LONGLINE EDWARDIAN (OVER AND UNDERBUST STYES)
****Style Advisory: Amazingly excellent value at
low price offering not-often-seen artistic options, for
a corset creating a gentle U- plus hourglass silhouette
in a period-perfect corset in four fabric
layers.The overbust push-up style may not create
sufficient natural bosom contouring to be suitable for
foundation wear and is never suitable for
serious waist training requiring an underbust corset.
Underbust and overbust styles are also not short enough
for serious waist training.****
This traditional, long-line corset style is seen to the right
in an overbust version constructed in pale blue linen,
while the underbust style is modeled below in brown linen
and in black cotton. Both the blue and brown corsets
also include traditional Victorian embroidered flossing.
The blue linen corset also has a 1/4" lace border under
binding edge.
Note that this longline Edwardian differs
from the standard Edwardian, by including a horizontal
panel at the bottom edge. Below you will see a closeup image
of that panel.
The corset is lovely when
constructed in traditional linen, or in cotton or our fine cotton-backed satin seen
here: Classic Line Fabrics.
This style works well underneath drop-waisted wedding gowns to ensure a long,
continuous silhouette. Note that care must be given when
selecting the overbust style to ensure the upper edge
horizontal line of the corset will not show beneath the
bodice of light-weight bridal gown or dress fabrics.
If worn outside as fashion wear, the style may tend to
visually shorten height, so may not be the best
choice for those 5'4" and under.
We will deduct $30 from your order upon receipt of your
order in our offices if you choose the option of a single
unlined corset, however, note that we recommend the
fully double fabric plus bonding especially for clients
with 40" waistlines and over.
This corset (as with any overbust style
ordered at ROMANTASY) includes an interim "muslin" fitting. The muslin is
a "rough cut" sample corset made in a single layer
of cotton muslin fabric with single (versus double)
boning. It provides you an opportunity in person in
San Francisco, or my mail to your location, to test
and adjust the fit before final construction.
