This style, featuring straps and cording for structure, was often marketed as a healthier alternative to more standard styles--though this corset does in fact still have some boning. Similar styles were also marketed for young people and for sports. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe front has button closures and it laces in the back. The straps perhaps had some way of fastening at one point, but I cannot find evidence of how, so I'm not sure. They are completely detached in the front. I have seen others like this with buttons that allow the wearer to adjust the length of the straps. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEvidence of some printing on the lining, but it has since worn and I cannot read what it said other than what I believe to be the word \"ladies.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have seen several of these in white but never one in black!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Measurements +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e27\" waist when fully laced (no gap)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Condition +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGood condition for its age with some flaws to note:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlightly musty odor and has not been cleaned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome tears in the fabric, especially around some of the boning channels, some boning exposed (which can actually come in handy if your plan is to have this as a study piece!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome stains in the lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe straps don't seem to attach to anything and I cannot find evidence of buttons or clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere was a bust alteration made at some point which has not been removed, some remnants of stitching still present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest for study, pattern making, or display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e+++ Please read +++\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis item is not new, and as such, it has wear commensurate with age.
