Off-the-shoulder white corset, "Corset" by unknown artist, is a short-sleeved garment with a straight top edge. The garment is made of fabric and features multiple seams and stitching. It appears to be a historical piece with visible signs of aging, such as discoloration and stains. The garment is displayed on a form or mannequin. The background of the image is gray. The corset has a boned construction with a front closure. The fabric appears to be slightly wrinkled and has a textured appearance.
