The lace trimmed cameo corset is a Louise Black signature item and has been around since 2004. It is constructed from 7 alternating panels of black and white stripe and rococo print canvas. It's reinforced with an additional layer of heavy canvas for even more cinching power. The entire piece is lined in a decorative cotton layer. The edges and seams are encased in bias tape & lace. This sturdy, underbust style is more of a decorative corset (not for severe waist reduction/training), but it will pull in your waist a couple inches and give your mid-section a waspy, hour glass appearance.
There is steel boning throughout (with 1/2" and 1/4" steel along the side seams, back, & front). It laces up through double sided black grommets and has a 6.5" tall cameo image of a vintage lithograph of a human skeleton torso on the front, surrounded by more lace and hand pleated ribbon. This corset can be made in sizes 21", 22", 23", 24", 25", 26", 27", or 28", 29", or 30". The front averages 11" tall and the back is 10.5-11" tall. When choosing a size it's best to go 2-3" smaller than your natural waist. 1-2" smaller will allow you to almost fully close the corset and 3" will leave a small gap in the back to show off the lacing.
