Those are not elisabethan.
They are 18th en 19th century corsets.
And I think the boning would bee steel wich you can also cut to lengt.
The pattern for the 18th century corset is taken from Corsets an
Crinolines but they adapted the schoulder straps.
The best pattern I used for a 16th century corset is From Patterns of
Fashion frm Janet Arnold.
You can see pictures somewhere on this page.

I just purchase a pattern for what I think is an elizabethan corset. Butterick B4254. Is anyone familiar with this pattern? My question is what type of boning do I use?. The pattern just say's "boning". I assume that it's a plastic boning since you need to cut it to length.
Any suggestions as to type of boning or a better elizabethan corset? I'm a plus
size hour glass type figure.
