    It looks like an under-bust waist cincher type of thing—but I know very little about corsetry.

    Even though I'm no help, I just wanted to say hello to you Tiffany! I'm so glad to see you here!

    Hi Tiff! I think it is likely Edwardian 1901 - 1905ish.

    OOOH! Is it pink? Yummy. I also think Edwardian, but really am not sure.

    I would guess early 1900s... when the first sort-of-bras turned up and and a separate girdle, waist cincher, whatever would be worn with it.

    Hi, Victorian corsets were long, from the breasts all the way down to the hips. This corset is short, more suited for a beautiful silhouette than for strong tightening. :)
