I have a page on my website with some undergarment illustrations from the 1910s, including some tango knickers!
http://www.vintagevictorian.com/costume_1910_acc.html About 15 years ago I bought a girdle, made of a woven mostly-cotton fabric that was almost identical to 1910s corsets (corsets get shorter by mid-decade), it's great. I don't know if they can still be found. I don't know of a pattern for a corset of the. The corset doesn't support the bust in the way a 19th century corset does, a separate brassiere would probably have been worn.
