Also, speaking of corsets

This beauty was on display at the conference, parts of which were held at Dalnavert House Museum. The display was put on by the Costume Museum of Canada. It's one of those Edwardian ribbon corsets where there is faggoting holding the ribbons all together. I wanted to steal it. ;p

Sorry for the awful glare in the pictures. It's the lighting and the glass cases.

A couple of similar corsets here: Past Perfect Vintage and Atelier Sylphe Corsetry.

It's so beautiful! And I had no idea our museum had a corset like this.

I like imagining the woman (presumably a woman or women?) that made it.
