xxM346M Rare 18th Century 1780-1790 Pink Satin Corselet.
A rare 18th century pink satin hand stitched corselet.   The corselet has baleen boned front lacing.  There are five bones on the center back panel.  The corselet is partly lined with linen.  It does appear to have once been fully lined as there are raw edges on the top front and underarms.   The front opening, waist, center back, back peplum tabs and front tabs are trimmed with ivory satin and silver metallic braiding. The corselet is in good and sturdy condition.  There is one three inch repair on one of the shoulder straps, a few pea size age spots.  A couple of pencil tip size holes and small stress breaks on the back tabs.  None of the age flaws distract from this wonderful and rare early garment.  A true treasure for the early textile collector.  Bust 32 Waist 20.
