How best to describe this bodice/waist treatment

[Hattysattic]

I've gone for corset style (it's like a multitude of princess seams) as it really does look like one. Any other ideas?

It's so long since i listed in earnest that I am rather rusty! ;)





Sad to see some of this weeks listings go but am being good!

With all the goodies you find, it's no wonder you have trouble being good.

I think you're bang on with corset style.

Oh I really like that dress and corset style in the front.

I don't know the terms but "corset influence" is a good start in the right direction for naming it......

Does it tie at the neck?

Thanks Deborah and Jamie

Yes - it's not a halter, but the edges of the neckline extend to the back as ties so it has a bow behind. Luckily it is too small for me, lol!

a beautiful garment, 'corset ' style/influence/effect does it for me!

"molded midriff" was brought up in another thread, and it was used a lot in pattern descriptions from this period.

I'd also put "empire" in there.

How slimming! Show off the chest, minimize the waist and hide the hips, it's like a dream!
