Kid skin is very soft, very supple, has a little stretch. You get it from
children,

Many extant corsets use chamois leather, like the leather you can use
to wash a car with. There is often a small piece, about an inch deep
inside and out, (sort of crescent shaped) under the arm towards the
front armscye, to prevent chafing. The 178-0s corset from Hunnisett
had this, and it made a lot of difference - no rubbing. Once upon a
time that corset fitted me, and was soooo comfortable!
