The publisher first published this pattern in 1985 and named it the "1863 Bust Supporting Corset". After researching in patent records, they corrected the historical notes and revised and updated the pattern and the pattern sizes. The corset can be made without the straps to wear under an off the shoulder gown. Price: $9.00
