Edwardian Corset

Has a rounded front with a split, hook-and-eye busk or one-piece steel busk to separate the bust as well as push it up and forward. Lacing is in the back. There are usually no straps. The boning is usually positioned in channels along the seam lines, about one bone every inch to three inches. The waist is cinched in very small and the corset extends to cover the stomach and hips to compress and push the hips back and out. Corset may be boned like Victorian corsets, or may include some elastic panels like future corsets.
