This style is designed to replicate a period silhouette, with adjustments for a modern figure. The long conical form was the standard for stylish ladies during the 16th and early 17th centuries, and this corset (pair of bodies, stays, or bodice) is based off of the few extant garments from the period. To create a historically accurate look, the right undergarments are key! This shape will help support outer garments and create the elongated figure that was so desired during Elizabeth’s reign.
