Description-

The Ada shapes the lower body with full rounded gussets over the hips, starting at the high waist above the natural waist. The curved gussets at the top give roundness to the bust. The Ada is the transition corset between the columnar straight lines of the earlier 1810’s period and the hourglass curved lines of the following 1850’s period. This corset features center front steel boning that lifts and separates the bust and spiral steel and flat steel boning throughout. This style has removable shoulder straps attached with adjustable front lacing.
