This listing is a Custom Order Renaissance Dorothea Corset or Dorothea Bodies. The corset is made out of unbleached cotton coutil (shown in pic 4) and edged with white bias tape. It laces together in back and adjusts at the shoulders. It is stiffened in throughout with flexible steel boning. The Dorothea Bodies (corsets were called “Pairs of Bodies” in the Renaissance) omits boning in the bust to allow for a more natural bust shape and a bit more breathing room. I adapted this corset from its original design to allow the boning to run down into the tabs at the waist to keep it from pinching. 

This corset can also be covered in a colored or printed cotton, linen, jacquard (pics 1-3), or dupioni silk. Printed, woven, or embroidered silk can also be used as a covering and a separate invoice will be issued for the cost of the fabric. 

**The Plain Coutil option is shown in pic 4. Unbleached coutil is foundation fabric and cannot be dyed. If you would like another color please select either the Cotton Covered, Linen Covered, Jacquard, or Silk Covered option.**

**For a more historical look, add hand bound eyelets (instead of metal grommets) to your order for an additional $25! An example is shown in pic #5! **
