Corset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The corset, by an unknown artist, is a beige fabric garment with a floral pattern and red trim. The back of the garment features numerous light-brown laces crisscrossing down its center, tied in a bow at the bottom. Two small, round beige fabric pieces are on either side near the bottom. The top has short, loose fabric pieces on either side, likely used for tying. The background of the image is gray.
