Corset

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cream-colored corset on a white mannequin. The corset has a sweetheart neckline and six black buttons down the front. Two thin straps extend from either side of the top. The corset is made of a fabric with a smooth, slightly shiny surface and has a textured pattern of vertical lines and floral embroidery. The bottom is wider than the top and tapers in at the waist. The mannequin has no head or arms below the shoulders. The background is a plain gray color. The corset reads "Corset" with an unknown artist.
