About 6 years ago, I got one from "Amazon Dry Goods."  They have a website.  Some are more accurate than others.  Not cheap, but wearable so kids could touch and try on.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Reproduction Corset



Hi Museum-L,

 

I am looking for a reproduction 18th or 19th century corset to use in classes and at learning stations.  It wouldn't need to be wearable, just something to show people what a corset is, and how it could cause deformity of the rib cage (we have such a deformed skeleton in our collection).  Any ideas of suppliers and costs?

 

Thanks,

Laurel
