The ‘Ink’ corset is a hybrid of contemporary lingerie techniques with antique-influenced corsetry. Foam-lined and underwired cups incorporate adjustable elastic bra wings which close with hook and eye tape. The body of the corset is made of cotton bobbinet tulle with bone channels created from cotton twill tape. 5mm spiral steel boning vertically support the corset, with flat steel bones at the centre back framing silver toned eyelets. An original c. 1900s busk is used for the front closure. Female Condoms and back panels have layers of nylon tulle as re-enforcement. The top and bottom edges are bound with charcoal silk satin, and an ivory leavers lace overlays the cups. Chargers and Adaptors completed garment was hand-painted with drawing ink, giving a textured and chaotic feel to an otherwise carefully considered garment. The creation of this garmentis documented here.
