This is the underwear, comprising a linen shift, boned corset, 'bum roll' and linen petticoat.
The underskirt is silk.
The back and front views of the finished article. The top is of sprigged cream cotton, trimmed with hand hemmed brown silk to match the underskirt. It is also boned, at the front, back and sides. I don't think those women were ever meant to bend!
