Gorgeous! Now, sitting in those long-bodied corsets must have been...interesting. At least one shows creases where your thighs would bend. Did this style of corset last long? Is there an speculation that their extremeness might have contributed to their popularity being brief?
I'd love to make one of these someday, garter straps and all!
