c. 1860 Julia Corset with Busk
The Julia is a classic 19th century hourglass shape and can be used for a great range of silhouettes. Lightly boned, it smooths the line of the body from bust to hip. The Julia is cut in the shorter French style of the period from shaped pieces.
A front closing German spring steel busk makes dressing yourself an easier task. Simply loosen your back laces, clasp the hook and eyes at the front, and pull your laces tighter, to your comfort level.
Our breathable cotton coutil is pre-washed making your corset hand washable.
