White Chemise Dress and Black Brocade Underbust Corset Set

Two pieces: a white Victorian style chemise dress in thin cotton jersey, with a ruffled square neckline, lace-trimmed cuffs and a wide lace hem, and a black brocade underbust corset shaped by 26 steel bones, with a steel busk at the front and lacing at the back.

Crisp white under deep black, for Victorian evenings, gothic weddings and Renaissance faires. The chemise also works as a nightgown, and the corset over a blouse.
