Victorian Corset in Silver and Pale Pink Diamonds Turtle The skirt and the edgingI've always loved the look of a corset, whether it's the flat funnel shape of the Tudor and Georgian periods, or the exaggerated curves and nipped in waist of the Victorian era. Show your love for corsets with one cut from paper and hand embroidered, ready to frame and hang on your wall. This corset is based on a design from the 1877 catalogue of New York store O. Jones. The corset is 3 inches tall, stitched by hand on 5x7 inch watercolour paper,
