Corset of blue cotton twill with the bones covered in green sateen ribbon, feather stitched at the bottom and the top is trimmed with a band of machine-made lace through which is inserted two narrow bands of green satin ribbon. The corset is made in two halves joined at the centre back with a white tape lacing through brass metal eyelets and at the centre front with five sets of white metal studs and loops, and on each of the latter is stamped 'S. & S'. The corset reaches from the mid bust to mid hip and is steam shaped at the hips. It has two wide bones at each side, and strong metal at the back flanked by a triple row of more flexible bones. The front bust is strongly boned and five narrow bones slope from the side to the centre front. Inside the corset is a waistband on which is stamped in blue cursive writing on the right hand side with 'NOUVELLE FORM DROIT DEVANT' and on the left side with 'THE S & S CORSET REGISTERED made in Belgium' and a figure of the statue of liberty '23' is written in pencil inside the right centre back. The corset does give a 'straight fronted' outline.
