Contemporary Peacock blue silk corset with
draped front skirt

blue silk dupion elongated 18th century corset, Hybrid eighteenth century and modern corset with details of lacing

For Cathy's Italian wedding we combined a classic 1780's corset shape with a modern corset. This way it had the bust flattering flat front, together with a more lengthened shape (not typical of an authentic 18th century corset). The rich turquoise/jade/blue silk corset was combined with a draped front skirt as in the "Lily" design.
