Hi everyone, I was browsing ebay looking for cheap corsets (I've worked out that it's cheaper to buy one of those off the rack satin corsets to rip apart for the steels than to buy the bones by themselves) and I came across this corset from c. 1904 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Airy-c1904-Ladys-Summer-Corset_W0QQitemZ8334930447QQcategoryZ48865QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (http://snipurl.com/hqx7) I thought this use of mesh would help with some of the complaints you often hear (e.g. 'corsets are too hot to wear in summer', or 'It's too hot to wear that many layers. I'll bone the bodice instead') and I wondered if anybody had experimented with using mesh as a corset fabric and if so was the experiment successful? Any ideas on what sort of fabrics available today would work for such a reproduction?
