Hey guys, Try this! There is a new Google search of Patents that is in Beta. I guess they're only U.S patents, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I searched on "corset" and got 835 hits with full technical drawings and many with text descriptions as well!
I also tried "Stays"--it got a lot of hits, but not all were dress related. But one was interesting--how to process rawhide into dress stays.
