Hi, can you please post a close-up of the label in the last photo? I can just make out "Toulouse", so it may be French, but nothing else, because the print is partially faded. In a close-up we might be able to read more and that label might have some good clues. I am not a lingerie specialist, so I can't say much about your pretty corset right now, but I'm sure someone who knows more about these will come along.
 
Hi midge thank you for your reply I've posted another picture but it's quite faint it says AU CORSET BLANC 38 RUE D' ( the rest is too faint I'm afraid :(
 
It's a boned camisole which is the forerunner of the brassiere. Because of the laced adjustment I think its earlier than later, c. 1910-15, but it might early 20s and intended for a stout or buxom woman - difficult to tell without handling.
