I would not use those for binding corsets. I do bookbinding as a hobby and those skins are vegetable tanned and very stiff and non stretchy as that is the qualities useful in bookbinding. I believe washing skins are alumtanned or something like that. At least they are much softer and pliable that bookbinding skins Tania
